Chapter 0244: Lantern Festival
Li Ang and Yang Nan and the others who were secretly monitoring Huangfu Weiming and Wei Jian also entered the Jinglong Taoist Temple, and then slowly followed up.
When they arrived at the gate of the Taoist temple, because the Taoist temple had a rule that they were not allowed to ride a horse inside, Li Ang and the others handed over the horses to the Taoist priest who guarded the door, and then they had to enter the temple.
However, Wei Jian and Huangfu Weiming did not walk fast, while watching the lights, they talked softly, and the guards of the two were guarding them, waiting for idlers to get close.
The person who was secretly watching, also pretending to be a tourist watching the lanterns, slowly embellished behind.
Li Ang whispered to Yang Nan: "Girl, who did you say that this person who followed Huangfu Weiming and Wei Jian was instructed by him?" ”
Yang Nan turned his head to look at him, his eyes were strange, as if to say, how could you ask such a brainless question.
Li Ang was a little embarrassed by her, and said curtly: "Girl, then tell me, what are Wei Jian and Huangfu Weiming talking about now?" ”
Yang Nan replied: "Does it matter what they talk about? ”
Li Ang was stunned for a moment, with a puzzled look in his eyes, Yang Nan explained: "Today, it is most taboo for the clan to make friends with foreign ministers, and once issued an edict: the clan, relatives, and concubines, if they are not close relatives, they must not be returned; Those who are waiting for each other are not allowed to enter and leave the house of the hundred officials;
Wei Jian's sister is the crown princess, and once the crown prince ascends the throne, Wei Jian will be the uncle of the country. Huangfu Weiming is the leader of the two towns of Longyou and Hexi, with 100,000 heavy soldiers, plus he was friends with the prince when he was young, and he was very close. Now that Wei Jian and Huangfu Weiming are traveling to Jinglongguan at night together, does it matter what they talk about? ”
When Li Ang heard this, he couldn't help but think about it, and only after a moment did he say, "Girl, even you know that there is such an edict today. Wei Jian and Huangfu Weiming, as important ministers of the imperial court, could not be unaware. Tonight they braved the condemnation of the world. It's unusual to visit Jinglongguan at night together. Do they really mean to .......?"
When Li Ang said this, he hurriedly stopped, with Yang Nan's cleverness, of course he knew what he wanted to say, and Yang Nan's heart tightened suddenly.
"After Concubine Wu Hui designed to murder the crown prince Li Ying and the second king, Li Linfu had the intention to curry favor with Concubine Wu Hui and strongly supported Li Shou Mao as the crown prince. It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, and now they have taken a fancy to Princess Shou, and it is impossible for King Shou to succeed to the throne.
Li Linfu was worried that the new crown prince would settle accounts after the autumn. It is because these people do not forget to murder Prince Heng, and at the first opportunity, they fabricate charges, which is a matter known to the government and the public.
Now that the saint is tired of government, Li Linfu's authority is getting heavier, and the saints are all at his disposal for major military affairs, it is conceivable that the prince's sense of crisis must be getting stronger and stronger.
From this point of view. The crown prince does have a motive for your guess, and you may not know that the prince has a very close relationship with Wang Zhonghe, the envoy of the Hedong Jiedu. Now Huangfu Weiming has led the armies of Longyou and Hexi towns, and if there are Wei Jian and others as the internal ......"
Yang Nan's voice was very soft. Leon could barely hear it when he got closer, but when it fell to his ears, it seemed to hear thunder in a silent place.
Li Heng has a forbearant personality. But secretly he is not a good master, as long as he has the opportunity. There is an absolute possibility that he will launch a mutiny to seize power;
As far as Leon knew, after the Anshi Rebellion. When Xuanzong fled to Jiannan and walked to Maweipo, it was Li Heng who took the opportunity to instigate a mutiny, executed Yang Guozhong and Yang Guifei, and then ran to Shuofang to seize the army and ascend the throne and force Xuanzong to abdicate.
In history, I didn't hear that Li Heng launched a mutiny in the fifth year of Tianbao, but the ghost knows that history is still not the original history.
When this situation is treacherous, it is better to be careful, otherwise the mutiny will really come, and then you can only stare dryly.
At this time, Yang Nan pouted, and Li Ang looked down and saw that the person who was secretly spying on Huangfu Weiming and Wei Jian had actually left. Leon looked at the background of the man leaving in a hurry, and suddenly his heart was relieved.
"Girl, it's okay, I'll wait to see a good show tomorrow." Leon smiled, took her hand, and turned to look out as well.
Yang Nan shook it, but couldn't shake his hand away, she snorted, Li Ang didn't hear it, Yang Nan actually recognized it, and let him hold his hand.
The bright moon in the sky is flying in the sky, the lights and shadows on the ground are intertwined, the drums are moving all over the city, and the voices of people are like tides. The two have never been closer since they met. Li Ang's hand was warm, Yang Nan unconsciously lowered his head and followed him slowly.
"Strange, you seem to want to see the prince fall.........." Yang Nan was looking for something to distract Li Ang's attention, because they had already walked under a few tall pines and cypresses, the lights were dim, and there were fewer people, Yang Nan was really worried that he would make further moves, this guy, but he could do everything.
Speaking from the heart, Li Ang really wants to find a chance to hug her, this girl is too likable, but don't usually say hug, don't even think about holding hands if you want to.
Seeing that she looked up at herself vigilantly, Li Ang couldn't help but smile and said, "Girl, what does it matter to me if the prince doesn't fall down?" I just hope that there is no mutiny, and I can continue to enjoy such a peaceful and beautiful moment with you. ”
"Humph! You've always been speculative, that's what you're talking about? ”
Yang Nan said and habitually pouted the tempting cherry mouth, Li Ang finally couldn't help it, lowered his head and kissed her little mouth, but before he could kiss it, Yang Nan quickly dodged and kicked him at the same time, "You scoundrel!" Yang Nan suddenly broke away from his hand and ran.
The kick on his foot was only a slight pain, but the fragrance was far away, but it made him feel extremely melancholy, too melancholy.
But looking back, this is in the Tang Dynasty after all, Yang Nan is the daughter of an official eunuch after all, and letting him hold hands is probably the limit, but he is too much.
"Girl, wait for me." After Li Ang figured it out, he immediately chased after him and apologized in a low voice: "Girl, I'm sorry, in fact, I just wanted to help you catch mosquitoes, really, there was a mosquito on your face just now......"
Poof! Yang Nan suddenly squatted down holding his stomach and laughed sullenly. Leon's mouth had always been slippery and eloquent, but this time it was undoubtedly the worst lie he had told since she had known Leon.
"Well, if you laugh, that means you're not angry. Let's go dancing and singing! Leon didn't care if she agreed or not, he picked her up and left.
The two then simply rode their horses home and kept them, and then went west along Chunming Avenue to the Suzaku Gate. There is a huge mountain shed as high as twenty or thirty zhang here, which is hung with all kinds of lanterns, there are tens of thousands of lights, and countless lights shine with the bright moon in the sky, which is breathtaking.
Under the lamp mountain, the music is loud, the crowd is surging, men, women and children are holding hands, including thousands of palace maids, forming a circle after circle, dancing with a bright rhythm and a warm atmosphere.
Such a scene happens every year in front of Suzaku Gate, attracting countless people to participate every year.
"Girl, this way, let's go in." Li Ang said, pulled Yang Nan into the second circle, inserted it, and jumped up with everyone.
"I hope to stay with you!" This is a lyric sung by the Tago Dance when the sleeves are thrown to the right. At this time, while Li Ang threw his sleeves to the right, he turned back to Yang Nan and said, "Me too!" ”
"What's it, don't make trouble if you don't dance!" Yang Nan's pretty face is shining, and he should be angry and happy.
At this time, among the rows of people dancing and dancing inside, a woman suddenly turned around and shouted: "Yan slave, okay, you, you have a private engagement with someone for life, and you are not ashamed." ”
"Yikes! Princess, you ...... Why are you here? The expression on Yang Nan's face was wonderful, shy, surprised, and wanted to escape.
It was strange for Li Ang to hear her call her a princess, because the woman who turned around was about the same age as Yang Nan, but she had long hair and a bit of Hu Ren in appearance. Could it be that she is a princess of another country?
The princess glanced at Li Ang curiously, her face was full of smiles, she quickly withdrew from the inner row, ran out and inserted Yang Nan's side, and whispered and laughed with Yang Nan.
Yang Nan was bumped into by an acquaintance, and he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, Li Ang looked funny, and scratched her palm with his fingers.
After a little more jumping, the princess said, "Go, Yannu, go to my tent." ”
The weather of the Lantern Festival is still a little cold, and the female dependents of the rich and noble families have to maintain a little reserve, they come to watch the lanterns, and they will mostly set up a curtain outside the palace gate.
Yang Nan and Li Ang were pulled under the princess's tent, and Yang Nan introduced them to both parties: "This is Yizhou Xie Yuan, Li Ang." ”
"Li Ang, is that Li Ang who is famous in Chang'an?" The princess couldn't help but look at Li Ang a few more times, her appearance had the characteristics of the Hu people, and also had a bit of the shadow of the Han people, like a mixed-race child, very gorgeous.
"Don't dare." Leon gave a salute.
Yang Nan continued: "This is Princess Shou'an. ”
Li Ang waved his body again: "Meet Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”
"No courtesy."
There are too many princesses in the royal family, judging from the title, it should be the princess of the Tang Dynasty, but the appearance of this princess is clearly Hu Ren. Leon really couldn't figure it out for a while.
Next, what made him even more embarrassed was that the princess's tent was full of women, and some of them were young ladies in Taoist robes, just him. Na Shou An pulled Yang Nan to chat affectionately about his daughter's house, and Li Ang was very embarrassed to be alone.
After a while, he finally couldn't help but say, "Your Royal Highness Princess, Yang ...... The little lady of the Yang family said goodbye first. ”
Princess Na Shou'an grinned and said to Yang Nan: "Someone is impatient, okay, I won't delay your flowers." Let's go, let's see you tomorrow in Xuanduguan. ”
After Yang Nan said goodbye, there was still a shy look on his face, and Li Ang couldn't help but be curious, and asked her about the princess.
According to Yang Nan, the princess Shou'an was indeed a mixed-race child, and her mother's name was Cao Ye Naji, who was a Sogdian. Because of her gorgeous appearance, she was favored by the emperor when she entered the palace and was named a beauty.
As a result, Princess Shou'an's mother gave birth to her in September.
The emperor may have suspected that Princess Shou'an was not his own, and he was disgusted with Cao Ye Nahime, and never got close to him again. also issued an edict to let Princess Shou'an wear a robe.
Princess Shou'an once asked Yu Yuan Danqiu, so she was very familiar with Yang Nan.
It's just a half-blood princess who is not treated well by the emperor, and Leon doesn't care too much about it. (To be continued.) )
