Yang Fan made up his mind to save Xue Huaiyi, but once the emperor stretched out her butcher's knife, it was too late for Yang Fan to save him.

With the decision made, Yang Fan also put his mind at ease, returned to the mansion and turned to the back house, Taomei was wearing a new shirt, walking in front of the corridor, and when she saw Yang Fan, she curtsied and saluted: "Ah Lang!" ”

"Hmm!"

Yang Fan nodded to her, and walked towards the flower hall, Xiaoman heard Taomei greeting in the flower hall, and had already heard the sound and walked out, as soon as he saw Yang Fan, he smiled and said in a low voice: "Lang Jun, come into the house and see who is coming." ”

"Who's coming?"

Xiaoman didn't answer, just smiled slightly, Yang Fan looked at her with a mysterious look, so he didn't ask, stepped over the threshold, and saw a person bending down to tease Yang Nianzu who was lying on the Luohan bed.

This man was long, wearing a jade blue scarf on his head, and a stone blue cotton gauze robe, with a cotton hakama of the same color, and a leather belt around his waist, which was very sprinkled.

Yang Fan couldn't help but say happily: "Wan'er! ”

The man teased the child very attentively, until Yang Fan exclaimed, then he realized that he had entered the house, and when he turned around, his face was also full of joy.

Xiao Man followed Yang Fan in and said with a smile: "You guys talk first, I'll take Nian Zu to the back for a turn!" As he spoke, he went to the couch and picked up Yang Nianzu.

"Don't freeze the kids!"

Yang Fan said, taking a soft cashmere blanket from the hanger and wrapping it around the child.

Wan'er smiled and watched Xiaoman take the child out, her eyes were still on the child, and she waited until Xiaoman disappeared at the door before reluctantly retracting her gaze.

Yang Fan took her to sit down on the couch inlaid with sandalwood and coral beads, and asked softly, "Why are you free today?" Told the emperor for leave? ”

Wan'er was dressed in winter clothes, still not hiding her beautiful figure, she smiled and pulled the placket and said: "Where can I take leave from time to time, today is the invitation of Taiping, so I went to the palace." ”

Yang Fan took a plate of dried fruits from the Qingyu table and put it in front of her. Puzzled, he said, "What did Taiping invite you to do?" Since the peace invited. How did you get here? ”

As he spoke, he subconsciously glanced at the door.

Wan'er smiled: "Don't look at it, she didn't come." I was invited out of the palace by her, but when I was about to arrive at the princess's mansion, I realized that she had invited some people to the banquet, and I didn't want to go, so I turned to you to have a look. I'll have to go back to the palace in a while. ”

"Who did she invite, you don't want to go?"

Yang Fan sat down next to her and gently held her soft palm, Wan'er's palm was soft and delicate, slightly cool, with a jade-like texture. It seems that he has just come in from outside, not long after.

Wan'er pursed the corners of her lips and said, "The three brothers Huifan Monk, Gao Jian, and Zhang Tongxiu, as well as the four brothers Cui Xiang and several talented people in Beijing, are all celebrities and sons. ”

Yang Fan said with a smile: "That's not right, you are in charge of the library and the history museum, presiding over elegance for the imperial court, appreciating the poetry and literature of the world, and the world's ministers are gathered under your door." Isn't it proper to associate with these people? ”

Wan'er said: "Taiping invited me to go." I just want to get my consent and jointly recommend a few people to enter the court as bachelors. Just ......"

Wan'er said this. After hesitating slightly, the cheeks of the pretty white condensed fat were slightly flushed, pink and white, just like a peach blossom: "It's just ......, there are some rumors in Beijing recently, which are very unbearable......"

Yang Fanqi said: "What rumors? Oh...... Are you saying that Hui Fan, Gao Jian, Cui Xiang and others all have some unclear relationships with Taiping, and even absurd rumors that a group of people are sleeping together? ”

Wan'er was surprised: "You know? ”

Yang Fan smiled and said, "Of course I know!" ”

Wan'er's eyes widened, and she looked very cute: "You don't care? ”

Yang Fan said disapprenously: "The beautiful woman has a little more contact with the man, and the gossip is immediately as natural as two trees getting closer, and there will be spider webs immediately." There are always people who like to think about others in this way, and there are always people who like to hear such things and preach such things, and they have been, are, and will always be like this. Hehe, Taiping, I'm used to doing what I'm used to, I never live for other people's gossip, I'm a big man, isn't it as good as her as a woman's mind, and I'm swayed by some rotten tongue-chewing goods? ”

Wan'er stared at it, shook her head and said, "Lang Jun is generous, this is the blessing of his daughter's family." But the daughter's family name is important, and she should love herself, even if it is just gossip, she should avoid it as much as possible, and it is not a good thing to be spread these rumors after all. ”

Yang Fan said: "Unless you don't do things, you are willing to stay in the deep boudoir, the door is not out, and the second door is not stepped." Now the emperor is fortunate to have two zhang, and after the introduction of the two zhang, many famous children have been able to enter the court, plus the officials in the court have gone through several turmoil, and more than half of the losses have been lost, and most of the new officials are young, you are in charge of the center, and you will have to deal with these young ministers in the future, where to avoid at that time? ”

Yang Fan gently hugged her shaved shoulders and said softly: "I know, for me, and for the sake of gaining a foothold in this treacherous and deceitful court, you are also trying to expand your contacts. Besides, you have arrived in front of the princess's mansion and returned halfway, once she understands the reason, she will definitely be displeased, and you don't have to mind these idlers. ”

Wan'er said: "But ......"

Yang Fan said: "Okay, I have something to ask Taiping for help, let's go together, since you have left, don't go over, and when you turn around, you will say that there is suddenly an urgent matter in the palace that needs to be handled, and it is necessary to return in a hurry." Let's go, let's go out first, get in the car and talk slowly. ”

Wan'er had no choice but to be pulled by Yang Fan and walked out reluctantly.

Yang Fan saw it very clearly, this kind of gossip is indeed something that has been happily spread from ancient times to the present. A beautiful woman, even if she only needs to deal with men for work reasons, will inevitably be rumored by those who live by herself. Not to mention that era.

Whether it is the emperor who picks up ashes, the queen who steals and rapes, or the prince who raises a child, or the princess who raises a face, whether it is the official or the people of the Tang Dynasty, they never shy away from saying that if Wan'er really has any scandals, it is impossible for no one in the government and the opposition to spread them, but because of Shangguan Wan'er's self-cleanliness, the Tang Dynasty has never had even a few scandals about her for nearly three hundred years.

Even so, it cannot escape the slander of future generations. In the era of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and the Shatuo Rebellion, Liu Yun began to write the Book of Tang. From the historical materials of the Tang Dynasty, it was found that Shangguan Wan'er "communicates with friends." Playing with power, the court is afraid of it", if you get the treasure, you are stunned to interpret this "pass" as an adulterous relationship between the sexes, this time it is terrible, and the husband who chases the smell is rushing to it, and constantly helps him supplement and improve. Eventually, erotic fiction replaced historical facts.

Wu Zhou is the most special period of the Tang Dynasty, because this period is the only period in Chinese history when the empress reigned, so women with special status such as Shangguan Wan'er and Princess Taiping can play an important role in politics that women of other dynasties cannot play.

If Wan'er did not serve in the Imperial Palace, then the Baoli faction would lose an important voice and ear at the emperor's side. Many major policies and decisions made by the imperial court will be realized later, and it is difficult to say that there will not be irreparable major mistakes because of the delay in any news.

If Princess Taiping does not use her special status as the princess of the Tang Dynasty and the daughter-in-law of the Wu clan to recruit ministers and protect the loyal Li faction, then by the day of Wu Zetian's funeral, it is likely that all the important positions in the court and the central government have been occupied by the Wu clan, and the political Shili of the Bao Li faction can only have the intention to kill the thief and have no power to return to the sky.

Yang Fan didn't want Wan'er to be tied up because of this, and they had to know that their liliang in the court was still very weak. And they planned to use the palace coup d'état to restore Li Tang. Wan'er's role in it is more useful than that of the 100,000 army, and she must not be burdened with psychological burdens for this. Therefore, Yang Fan tried his best to dispel Wan'er's concerns.

Wan'er's concerns are different from Zhang's. Zhang said that a generation of talented people cherished their personal reputation very much, so they were alienated from Taiping because of gossip, but Wan'er had this concern, but ninety percent didn't want Yang Fan to be displeased, Lang Jun could understand her difficulties, and Wan'er's heart knot was naturally untied, and she no longer had so many worries.

The two talked all the way, and when the knot was opened, they couldn't help but talk about love. Although the two have been real husband and wife for a long time, but because of the short time they got together, Yang Fan's few love words were sweeter than honey in Wan'er's heart. Dizzy Tao Tao, I only feel that time flies very fast, a rare moment of warmth, but it seems that in the blink of an eye, I have arrived at Shangshanfang.

Further forward is the Tianjin Bridge, Yang Fan and Wan'er said goodbye, sat back on his war horse, looked at Wan'er's car until the Tianjin Bridge, disappeared at the bridge, and then turned the horse to Shangshanfang.

Shangguan Wan'er rushed to Princess Taiping's mansion before, Princess Taiping did get the news, Wan'er was invited by her, and she had already sent someone to wait in front of the mansion, and saw Shangguan Wan'er's car driving over from a distance, with an official flag on it, how did she not know that she had come. Without waiting for the car to get closer, the princess's family entered the door to spread the news. As a result, when Princess Taiping arrived at the house, Shangguan Wan'er had already turned around and left.

Princess Taiping's character is arbitrary, self-motivated, love and hate, proactive, and what irrelevant people say is just bullshit, and they don't take it to heart at all, so they don't know that Shangguan Wan'er, who has a delicate mind, cares so much about those gossips.

Shangguan Wan'er came and went, making Princess Taiping inexplicable, and thought that there was some urgent news in the palace to recall Shangguan to be controlled, so she was not annoyed, but a little worried, I don't know what happened in the palace.

Originally, the guests were sitting in the hall, and they had to wait for Wan'er to arrive before opening the banquet, Wan'er retreated for no reason, and did not leave a word, so Princess Taiping ordered the banquet to be opened, and the guests sat down, and the drinking order was ordered.

At this moment, Gao Jian has just made a drinking order: "I'm tired of drinking at night, and I won't return if I don't get drunk." This is a sentence from the "Book of Songs" quoted, and if someone wants to order wine, not only must follow the meaning, form, and rhyme of his order, but also must be a sentence in the "Book of Songs".

This is a very common activity for literati to interact with each other, and the most important thing is to test their knowledge, if there is a fake Swen who plagiarizes poetry and articles, he will immediately expose his stuffing when he encounters this kind of occasion. is Yang Fan, who only has the foundation laid when he was a child, and he can't cope with this kind of scene of literati drinking and feasting.

Gao Jian's first order stumped everyone, Cui Xiang thought hard for a while, and suddenly raised his chopsticks to touch the wine, Daxiao said: "There is!" The wind and rain are like obscurity, and the roosters are crowing! ”

Everyone stroked their palms, and even called the wonderful sentence, Princess Taiping smiled, and was about to let Gao Jian punish a glass of wine, when a maid quietly walked in and whispered to her: "Your Highness, Yang Fan asks to see!" ”
