Half an hour later, Li Qing'an bathed and changed clothes in Li Linfu's mansion, and under the guidance of a maid, he came to Li Linfu's castle study on an isolated island.

The servants had already packed up a table of wine and food, and Li Linfu's two concubines were waiting on the left and right.

"Come on! Sit casually, and coming to me is like going back to your own home. ”

Li Linfu had already changed into a loose Zen robe and a flat-topped scarf, which looked very casual, he smiled and pulled Li Qingan to sit down, and said to the concubine: "Don't you pour wine for General Li?" ”

Li Linfu's concubine was unusually beautiful, she stretched out her hand, poured a glass of wine for Li Qing'an, and said with a smile: "General Li, please!" ”

Li Qingan bowed and smiled: "Thank you." ”

Li Linfu glanced at him, pointed to the concubine and said, "Her name is Duonu, so she gave it to General Li, how about it?" ”

The concubine's face was flushed, her body was soft, Li Qing'an took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "Wine is like poetry, beauty is like jade, when you stay in the merry literati to taste, how can I be blessed to enjoy the wind and rain, the country is beautiful, Li Qing'an has it." ”

Li Linfu laughed and waved his hand: "You guys go down!" ”

The two women stood up and slowly retreated, the woman named Donu looked at Li Qing'an with blank eyes, Li Qing'an raised his glass and smiled at her, and shook his head apologetically.

Li Linfu stared at him for a long time, sighed slightly, and said: "Sure enough, he is a person who does great things, and he is not moved by beauty, then Yang Guozhong was greedy for beauty and suffered from the two beauties of King Nanzhao, which resulted in the evil consequences of today's Nanzhao, greedy for sex and misleading the country!" ”

Li Qingan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Does the Holy Lord know about this matter?" ”

"I know what, you have also seen it, Nanzhao was defeated, but in the end, he took Xian Yu Zhongtong to open the knife, what is there to say."

Speaking of this, Li Linfu raised his glass again and smiled at Li Qing'an: "How is the dance costume doing in the North Garden?" ”

"I received a letter from home half a month ago, everyone is fine, they want to go back to Chang'an, I have asked them not to come east, I said I may go back soon."

"Oh! Could it be that Shichiro knew that there would be today's result? ”

Li Qingan squinted his eyes and laughed, and said, "What did Xiangguo say? ”

Li Linfu laughed dryly twice, and then diverted the topic, "It has been half a year since the former prince was deposed, and the East Palace is still empty, I don't know who Qilang thinks will spend in the end?" ”

Li Qing'an drank a glass of wine, pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know if Xiangguo has noticed, there are already old age spots on the back of the saint's hand." ”

"I just noticed today that the Holy Lord's body is not as good as before."

Li Linfu sighed with emotion, but his eyes were fixed on Li Qing'an's expression, he saw that Li Qing'an didn't speak for a long time, and asked again: "Qilang hasn't answered my question yet, who do you think the East Palace will be?" ”

Li Qingan stared at the wine glass and said lightly: "Weird game, the undercurrent is turbulent, anyone is possible, why should Xiangguo care too much about who is the prince?" ”

This time, Li Linfu shook his head and said stubbornly: "The crown prince is the foundation of the country, how can I not care, seeing that the saint has reached his twilight years, the issue of the East Palace is even more urgent, Qilang, I am sincerely asking you, I would like to hear your opinion, if you are my son, which prince will you advise me to pay attention to?" ”

"Xiangguo should ask an intermediary in order to get fair advice, I am the backbone of the former tide file, of course I will persuade Xiangguo to pay attention to the former prince."

"Li Heng?"

Li Linfu's eyes slowly narrowed, he looked at Li Qingan, and said, "Why is it him?" ”

Li Qingan smiled, "Maybe this is called a grievance that should be resolved rather than settled!" ”

．．．．．．．． The news of Li Qing'an's official promotion to the envoy of the Anxi Festival spread throughout Chang'an in only half a day, and the people of Chang'an were rejoicing, and people's dissatisfaction with Li Longji's use of Yang Guozhong became his appreciation for using Li Qing'an. The Dugu family is no exception, the news of Li Qing'an's ascension made the Dugu family feel like a holiday, the whole house was jubilant, and all the family members had to smile and say when they saw Mingyue, "Congratulations to the girl." ”

Mingzhu was even more ecstatic, she took out a little private money she had saved, and rewarded everyone she met, and the maids knew that the three girls were generous on a whim, and they came to reward the money, and after a moment of effort, they would get rid of the dozens of money of Dugu Mingzhu.

The money was gone, she felt distressed again, and ran to Mingyue to ask for compensation.

"Sister, this money is spent for you, I know you're embarrassed, so I'll reward you for you, but you should always understand this person's sophistication! You have to pay for this money, so it's your happy event, sister, don't you say? ”

Mingzhu stretched out his hand and said cheekily: "Actually, it's not much, a total of fifty times, you can give it back to me!" ”

Mingyue patted her palm and said with a smile: "It was spent on your own whim, what does it matter to me, I don't have any money for you." ”

"Oops! Why are you so stingy, your husband is rich, won't all his gold and silver be yours in the future? Fifty runs, it's just a hair of yours, sister, just pluck a hair for me! ”

Mingzhu coquettishly hugged her sister's arm and begged, "Okay!" Sister of Mrs. Sanpinjun. ”

Mingyue smiled and twisted a strand of hair and stuffed it into her palm, "Okay! My sister will give it to you. ”

"Stingy!" Mingzhu stomped her foot angrily, pouted, and said, "If you don't give it, I'll go to Brother Li to go." ”

At this time, a maid said at the door: "Eldest girl, someone in the Guike Hall is looking for you, the lady is not there, the housekeeper invites you over." ”

"Okay, I'll take a look, and I'll settle accounts with you later, maybe I'll cover half of your money."

Mingyue got off the embroidery building and walked quickly towards the guest hall.

Dugu Haoran was initially demoted to Xunyang County Order, but soon Li Longji read that he was the emperor's sake, and reappointed him as Huzhou Taishou, Dugu Haoran took office, and the family was taken care of by Mrs. Pei, but today Mrs. Pei happened to have something to go out and was not in the house.

At this time, in the guest hall, there was an important guest, Princess Di, Princess Di's name is Wei Qiyu, the daughter of Taishi Wei Tao, and her sister is married to Mrs. Pei's younger brother, the former Shaoqing Pei Min of Dali Temple, and Mrs. Pei is a kind of kinship.

But today she came, not to find Mrs. Pei, but to find Mingyue, she was entrusted by her husband King Di to have a relationship with Mingyue.

At this time, Mingyue walked in quickly from outside the hall, and Princess Di stood up and said with a smile: "Mingyue, do you remember me?" "Ahh It's the princess. ”

Mingyue hurriedly stepped forward and gave a salute, "Mingyue sees the princess." ”

Princess Di waved her hand and smiled: "Don't call me princess, it's still the same as before, call me Aunt Wei." ”

"Yes! Aunt Wei. ”

Princess Di glanced at Mingyue up and down, and said with a smile: "Not bad! Not bad! Sure enough, it's a national color, no wonder Li Qingan slashed the wine case for you, if I were a man, I would be crazy about you. ”

Mingyue Qiao's face was slightly red, and she asked, "The housekeeper said, Aunt Wei is here to find me, is there something wrong?" ”

"Actually, it's nothing, I'm just coming to see you, everyone is a relative, usually there are fewer contacts, resulting in a little rusty, when you were a child, I often took you to play together, so many years have passed, hey! I'm old. ”

Mingyue didn't know what Princess Di meant by these words, she smiled and didn't say anything, at this time, she suddenly saw her sister waving to her at the door, very anxious, she hurriedly apologized and said to Princess Di: "Aunt Wei, please sit down for a while, I will come back immediately." ”

She walked out of the hall quickly, Mingzhu jumped up, grabbed her arm and said, "Sister, you come with me." ”

"Hey! I'm talking to Princess Di, what's going on? ”

"Sister! Now even the biggest things have to be put down. ”

Mingzhu leaned into her ear and said, "Brother Li is here, waiting for you in the small guest hall!" ”

Mingyue's heart was pounding, she looked back at Princess Di who was drinking tea in the house in embarrassment, and said, "You go talk to him first, let him wait, I'll come right away." ”

"Oh well! You hurry up. ”

Mingzhu ran away, Mingyue calmed down her excitement, returned to the guest hall, and said with a smile: "Let Aunt Wei wait for a long time." ”

Princess Di glanced at her and asked with a smile, "Mingyue, is there something wrong with you?" ”

"It's nothing, a friend of my sister came and asked me to come over and talk, it's okay."

Mingyue smiled reluctantly, but she was secretly anxious in her heart.

"Oh! That's right. ”

Princess Di took a sip of tea and asked with concern, "Mingyue, I wonder if your wedding date has been set?" ”

．．．．．． In the small guest room, Mingzhu was complaining to Li Qing'an, "Brother Li, you have become the envoy of the Anxi Festival, and all the family members have come to say hello to my sister, you know, my sister is a little thin-skinned, there is no way, as long as I come to block her driving, do you know?" All my savings were given to my subordinates, and I thought my sister would return it to me, but she was also terribly poor, hey! Brother Li, what do you say this should do? ”

"You weird little girl, you want me to pay for it, just say it clearly, and ask me what to do?"

Li Qingan said a word to her with a smile, and then asked, "Say it!" How much money did you use? ”

Mingzhu rolled her eyes, and hurriedly smiled: "Not much!" Not much! used up a total of 200 for my sister. ”

"Huh! Two hundred yuan, one thousand two hundred catties, I really don't know where you put it? ”

Li Qing'an smiled and took out a longan-sized diamond from his arms, which was given to him by the Broken Leaf Raider Shi Khan Erweitler, he handed it to Mingzhu and said: "This diamond is worth at least three thousand yuan, as a reward for the last time you traveled thousands of miles to Beiting to report the news." ”

Mingzhu jumped for joy, and she took the diamond, and the bright light blinded her eyes.

"Big brother, is this really for me?"

Although Mingzhu is the daughter of a big family, the Dugu family has a very strict family education, and it is the first time she has obtained such an expensive gem, and her eyes are smiling.

"Mingzhu, are you asking Brother Li for money?"

Mingyue's voice suddenly came from the door, Mingzhu was startled, and hurriedly hid the diamond in his sleeve, and said coquettishly: "Sister, look at what you said, Brother Li is my friend, can I congratulate him?" ”

Mingyue walked in, she was very nervous, and gave Li Qing'an a smile and said, "Brother Li, I would like to congratulate you on your promotion to the envoy of the Anxi Festival." ”

"Nothing!" Li Qingan waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "Actually, it's a drudgery, and the Holy Lord asked me to deal with Da Shi." ”

At this time, Mingzhu smiled: "You talk, I won't bother you." ”

She pinched the diamond and ran away.

There were only two people left in the room, Li Qingan and Mingyue, the two were a little embarrassed, Mingyue sat down and said with a smile: "Just now, Princess Di came and indicated that she wanted to see me, so I could only accompany her for a while." ”

'King Li Yan? Li Qingan was stunned for a moment and asked, "What did she tell you?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just a chat, she wants me to go to her place often, and tomorrow there will be a drinking party in her house, and she invites me to go."

"Do you have a good relationship?"

"No, she is my aunt's sister, I haven't been in touch for many years, and today she suddenly came to me."

Speaking of this, Mingyue said in a low voice: "Brother Li, don't worry!" I know what she means, I've declined, I'm not going to do anything to embarrass you. ”

Li Qingan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you really know what she means?" ”

Mingyue nodded, "She kept mentioning you, and I guessed it." ”

Li Qing'an smiled, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Mingyue, today the Holy Lord has officially recognized our relationship, do you know what it means?" ”

Mingyue's face flew a touch of red, she lowered her head and nodded shyly.

"You are actually my hostage who stayed in Chang'an, this is the practice of the imperial court, and the wife is not allowed to accompany me, so I have to wronged you."

Speaking of this, Li Qing'an took out an ivory jade plaque and handed it to Mingyue and said: "This is my reward for recovering broken leaves, 10,000 taels of silver, 5,000 horses of silk, all of which are stored in the Wang Baoji Cabinet in the capital, and there are 5,000 taels of silver left in the past, and there is also a manor in Gaoling County, where the prince rewarded me, all of which are withdrawn with this ivory card, I will hand over all these money and things to you, and some gifts in the capital will be exchanged in the future, and the invitation card given to me may be sent to you, you can do it for me, you know?" ”

Mingyue silently took the jade plaque and asked in a low voice, "Then when will you come back?" ”

"I don't know."

Li Qingxin was very guilty, it stands to reason that he should leave after marrying Mingyue, but the situation in the river is changing rapidly, and he must rush back to Beiting immediately, so he has to wronged Mingyue again.

A trace of sadness flashed in Mingyue's eyes, but she immediately covered it up again, and forced a smile and said, "I also hope that you can recover the broken leaves as soon as possible, so that I will also feel glorious for you." ”

Li Qingan nodded, stood up and said: "Then I will say goodbye, today I am here to say goodbye to you, tomorrow I have to go through all kinds of procedures, I am very busy, I have no time, I will leave early the day after tomorrow." ”

Mingyue also stood up and said softly, "Then I'll send you." ”

The two walked slowly to the door side by side, neither of them spoke on the way, and there were thousands of words in their hearts, but they didn't know where to start.

Walked all the way to the gate, in the night, Li Qing'an's horse was twenty steps away, Li Qingan stopped, lowered his head and said to her: "Then I'll go first!" ”

"You have to be careful all the way."

Li Qing'an turned around and left, looking at Li Qing'an's back, suddenly an unbearable sadness passed through Mingyue's whole body, and something unexpectedly attacked her heart, making her feel extremely painful, as if she felt that a piece of her body had been ripped off, she was dying, just after this pain disappeared, tears rushed out of her beautiful eyes like a flood that could not be stopped by a floodgate, she could no longer restrain the sadness in her heart, ran a few steps quickly, and shouted out in a lost voice, "Li Lang!" ”

Li Qingan turned around suddenly, he saw that Mingyue couldn't cry anymore, so he gently hugged her thin shoulders, Mingyue suddenly threw herself into his arms, and cried bitterly.

A few family members standing at the door hurriedly entered the door of the house, leaving the last parting time for them, Li Qingan gently picked up Mingyue's face, looking at this beautiful face like a peony, he finally mustered up the courage to bow his head and kiss her on the lips, Mingyue trembled, she wanted to push Li Qingan away, but was melted by his fiery gaze, and her beautiful eyes slowly closed.

Li Qingan hugged her tightly in his arms, leaving the sadness of parting and the passionate kiss of his lover between her lips and teeth.
