Qujiangchi is located in the southeast of Chang'an, close to the Waiguo city wall.

Emperor Wen of Sui built Daxing City (Chang'an City of Sui and Tang Dynasties), some monks said that the terrain in the south of the city was higher, and it was not conducive to feng shui, so Emperor Wen of Sui sent Yuwen Kai to dig the ground as a pool, thinking that it was a crack.

Because of the twists and turns of the flowing water, it is called Qujiang Pond, Emperor Wen of Sui had changed its name to Furong Pond, and built Furong Garden here, but after the death of Sui, the folk still call it Qujiang.

The Hibiscus Garden is a royal garden, but it is open to the public on special days every year in the spirit of enjoying the people. For example, Zhonghe (the first day of the second lunar month), Shangsi (the third day of the third month of the third lunar month), Zhongyuan, Chung Yeung Festival, and the obscure day of the month (the last day of the month) and so on.

Ordinary people have no chance to enter and exit, but for the royal family and nobles, it is a different matter.

This year's winter first snow banquet by the eldest grandson Chong to do the east, in order to support the façade for her husband, Princess Changle begged her father to borrow Qujiang Pool to set up a banquet. Li Shimin doted on his eldest daughter and agreed without hesitation.

This is the royal privilege, the beautiful scenery is circled, and after their own people are tired of seeing it, they give the people a look every once in a while, and the beautiful name is called the emperor's grace. Use it for special occasions, and it will be the envy of others.

The Quchi banquet began at noon, not the dinner, because of the curfew imposed after dusk in Chang'an City. Although the magnates can occasionally make exceptions, there are so many people today that it is obviously not appropriate to exercise their privileges.

In order to save trouble, it is better to start at noon and continue until noon, and end before the evening. After all, in ancient times when lighting was inconvenient, it was dark at night, and you could enjoy the snow scene.

Since the morning, people have set off. Qujiang Pond is in the southeasternmost corner of Chang'an City, the southern edge of Leyou Yuan, the distance is relatively far away, and the road is slippery in snowy days, in case there is a delay on the way.

Because of the snow, Xie Yi did not ride a horse, but went in a carriage, and Wang Yongan was still guarding the side. On the way, I happened to meet the Cheng Chumo brothers on Suzaku Street, so they went together.

Xie Yi didn't know that when he left the house, there was a middle-aged man who walked in the snow and fell far behind him, and no one noticed it......

……

The sky is full of snow, and Leyou is already covered in silver.

Walking in this snow-covered ice and snow world in a horse-drawn carriage is definitely a very romantic thing to bring a beautiful woman with you. Even if you are alone, it is quite meaningful.

However, he was accompanied by a rugged young man like Cheng Chumo, and his artistic conception was much worse all of a sudden. However, Cheng Chuliang and Princess Qinghe shared a car, which made people envious. Xie Yi sighed secretly, and made up his mind that when it snowed another day, he must bring Du Xijun to feel it.

The convoy drove through Leyouyuan, directly entered the Furong Garden, and then got off and went south along the winding embankment of Qujiang Pond to Ziyun Tower.

Walking on the shore, the snowflakes fall into the lake water that has not yet frozen, and the traces of withered residual loads can be faintly seen on the vast water surface, looming in the dense water vapor.

Under the action of the weather, the huge Qujiang Pond seems to be like a fairyland, and the pavilions and pavilions on the opposite bank are like the heavenly palace towers, and the artistic conception is very beautiful.

I have to say that Princess Changle and Eldest Sun Chong held a banquet here, which is definitely a lot of face.

Walking not far away, you can see a budding plum blossom, a little red stamen in a snow-white ice and snow is particularly beautiful. There are a few women gathered in front of the red plums, enjoying the view.

Seeing Xie Yi and his party passing by from a distance, they all looked sideways, and their eyes fell on Xie Yi.

Mr. Xie was originally handsome and elegant, but today he is wearing a brocade robe and a cloak, and he is even more in the wind. Coupled with the Cheng Chumo brothers by his side as a foil, the degree of shine has increased exponentially.

Cheng Chumo said "shamelessly": "Brother Xiaoyao, look at how popular you and I are, it's a pity, my brother is already married...... You have to cherish it! ”

"Uh......" Xie Yi was speechless, almost vomiting blood, Cheng Chumo, where did you get your confidence? Sure enough, the son of a mouse can make holes, and the genetics are really strong, and the thick-skinned ones are really similar to Cheng Zhijie.

After walking for a while, you will see the splendid Ziyun Tower from a distance, and the banquet will be set up here. The eldest grandson Chong and a woman in palace clothes were standing downstairs to greet the guests, thinking that it was undoubtedly Princess Changle.

"Sister Changle!"

"Sister Qinghe!"

When the two princesses meet, they have a deep sisterhood. The eldest grandson Chong stepped forward and greeted: "Everywhere is silent, everywhere is bright, leisurely, is it okay to walk on the road?" ”

"It's fine!"

"This is Master Xie?" As soon as Changsun Chong was about to speak, Princess Changle walked over quickly and looked Xie Yi up and down.

"Chen Xie Yi has seen Her Royal Highness Princess Changle!" Xie Yi saw that Princess Changle had a dignified appearance and a good appearance, and her eyebrows and eyes were slightly similar to the little son, and she thought that they were all inherited from her mother, the eldest grandson.

Princess Changle's maiden name is Li Lizhi, as her name suggests, she can be regarded as a natural beauty, and now she is only seventeen or eighteen years old, but she already has a son with her eldest grandson.

"Master Xie, don't be polite." Princess Changle said with a smile: "I heard the pheasant slave and the son mention, there is a lot of praise and reverence for the honorable driver, and the beauty is very curious. ”

"Her Royal Highness the princess has praised it!" Xie Yi hurriedly responded politely.

The eldest grandson Chong smiled and said: "Don't be modest, leave two more masterpieces on the Ziyun Tower today." ”

Xie Yi said with a smile: "The article is natural, and it is not so easy to get it by chance, just try your luck in the next place." ”

"The article is natural, and the clever hand gets it, isn't this just a sentence, Mr. Xie is really quick-witted." Princess Changle's eyes lit up and she spoke out in approval, which attracted everyone's echo and praise.

"Please sit upstairs and wait for Brother Xiaoyao's masterpiece today." After a few more pleasantries, Changsun Chong hurriedly invited Xie Yi and the others upstairs.

In the Ziyun Building, the best silver frost charcoal has long been burned, warm as spring; In the corner, there are also red plums and blooming daffodils in bottles, and the fragrance is overflowing.

After going upstairs, standing by the window, just overlooking the entire steamy Qujiang Pond, the view is picturesque.

"Brother Xie is here!"

Hearing someone greet him, Xie Yi turned around and saw that Fang Yiai and Du He had already arrived first.

"Brother Fang, Brother Du!"

Du He said: "Li Zhen, Siwen, come to introduce you, this is the world-famous Xie Yi, Bachelor Xie!" ”

"I've heard the name of Master Xie for a long time, and today I finally have a chance to see it." The two young men greeted Xie Yi politely.

"The two of you are polite, Xie Yi first arrived in Chang'an, I don't know what to call the two?"

Cheng Chu smiled silently: "These are the two Lang Jun in the British Mansion, Li Zhen and Li Siwen!" ”

The son of the British Gong Li Ji?!

With the memory of his previous life and what he has seen and heard in this life, Xie Yi knows that the British Li Ji is a great general in the world, and since the war against the Turks, after the general Li Jing was suspicious and closed the door, Li Ji was hidden as the first general of the Tang Dynasty.

In terms of bravery, military strategy, and future prospects, it is incomparable to Wei Chigong, Duan Zhixuan, and even Hou Junji. Such a powerful general, Li Shimin did not leave him in Chang'an, but as the governor of the prefecture, he led the prince Zuowei to garrison the state.

However, his son naturally stayed in Chang'an, in the name of studying, but in fact he was quite a hostage. A general, with heavy troops in hand, how can the emperor be completely assured?

Li Ji has been fighting horses all his life, and he probably feels that the military is difficult and the generals are dangerous, so he intends to let his two sons learn more literature, and even directly named the second son "Siwen", which can see his intentions. For today's event, the two sons of the Li family are naturally also invited.

"It turned out to be two young men from the British government, disrespectful and disrespectful!" Xie Yi hurriedly saluted, he knew better than anyone else the significance of Li Ji's person in the future, so he definitely couldn't make a bad deal with him. If you want to be invincible in the future, you must also befriend him, and if you have this opportunity, let's start by befriending his son!

When a group of people stood at the window to greet each other, they saw a woman coming with an umbrella accompanied by a maid from a distance.

Due to the line of sight, the woman's appearance happened to be covered by an umbrella, and she only saw a dress with blue water, a slender figure, lotus steps, and excellent demeanor, thinking that she should be a beauty.

"Mrs. Zheng is here!"

Xie Yi's heart moved, this is the Zheng lady that Du He said? It seems very special and mysterious, who is she?

When they came downstairs, Changsun Chong and Princess Changle immediately stepped forward to greet each other, and their attitudes were quite polite.

The umbrella was finally put away, but due to the angle problem, I could only see its cloud-like green silk and white snow-like skin, and the face was still a little unclear, and I couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

Then it was a coincidence that a few sons of the family crowded the window and touched the lattice, and a small pinch of snow fell in response, and it happened to fall on the woman impartially.

Perhaps it was a knee-jerk reaction, and the woman couldn't help but look up. Xie Yi, who was standing at the window, bore the brunt of the attack and met his eyes unexpectedly.

A beautiful face appeared in the field of vision, and in an instant, Xie Yi couldn't help but lose his mind......
