Li Longji has been sitting quietly, sometimes bowing his head and laughing with Wang Jun, and sometimes toasting to Li Chengqi and other brothers. His smile has been on the corner of his lips, outlining a bit of romance and clarity, no matter what Princess Taiping says, he does not move, his expression is always relaxed, but at this moment he can't help but sink a little.

In recent days, he has naturally heard many rumors inside and outside the palace. At first, he just thought that Xiao Jiangyuan was getting longer and wider, and he was more and more inclined to women's charm, and everyone had such a conjecture that it should be, so he just laughed it off and didn't take it too seriously. Now that he cooperated with what Princess Taiping had just said, he realized that something was wrong.

His face did not change, he smiled and turned his eyes, looking at Xiao Jiangyuan, who was kneeling and pouring wine on the side of the long table, but his eyes were deep and dark.

The ministers were visibly relieved. This banquet is really difficult, it is ironclad that you can't eat enough, there is no food in the palace, and it is not suitable to get drunk today. If you ask to leave the scene under the pretext of being drunk, won't you be able to witness what might happen after that?

Regardless of their official position, since they can sit firmly in the court, they will naturally have a natural sensitivity to turmoil. Princess Taiping also had a joint coup with the prince not long ago, and now she is so bad with the prince, what is going on? Xiao Neishi, as the prince's personal attendant, is naturally reasonable to be angry and suffer, but what is wrong with Princess Taiping's attack on Xiao Neishi, isn't it more easy to win steadily in politics, why do you have to use rumors to insinuate that she is a woman?

Unless Xiao Neishou is really a woman, Princess Taiping can rely on her power to investigate Xiao Neishi's crime to the heaviest, far more serious than the eunuch's interference in politics.

Xiao Neishou was born in the court and grew up in the palace since he was a child, if he was really a woman, he would not have known it for a long time? And she also served the Queen of Heaven, it is said that she is still Shangguan Zhaorong's apprentice, and the rebellious Shuren used to love her so much, she is a man or a woman, even if the rebellious Shuren don't know, can the Queen of Heaven and Shangguan Zhaorong still not know? Unless they deliberately concealed it for Xiao Neishi, but...... Why?

In any case, Princess Taiping did not continue to be aggressive towards the prince, but turned the spearhead and pointed the finger at Xiao Neizhi, who had a much lower status, which was really undesirable for the ministers. Otherwise, they don't know how to end up with a good feast - is it possible that only two months after the saint ascends the throne, they will see clearly who is in the court and who is inclined to Princess Taiping, but few people are facing him?

Anyway, it's just a eunuch, a man disguised as a woman, and instead of the prince to make the saint smile, why not?

Li Dan, who was on the main seat, listened to his sister's sudden change of topic, and some didn't react. He had also heard the rumors, and he didn't take them to heart like the ministers, so it could be seen that his sister seemed to make such a joke casually, and he quietly muttered in his heart. He suddenly remembered that five years ago, he followed Zhongzong to enjoy the flowers in the peony garden of Shangyang Palace, Zhongzong reached out and took the pink peony that the rebellious people threw into Xiao Jiangyuan's hand, and then gently slapped it into Xiao Jiangyuan's hair.

He turned his eyes to look at Xiao Jiangyuan, and saw that she was about to get up, but she paused, and immediately sat back, his heartstrings tensed even more - what was San Lang doing to stop her?

Seeing Li Longji straighten up, he smiled at Princess Taiping: "Aunt doesn't know, this little eunuch is good everywhere, but only the music and rhythm, I can't learn anything, if I really perform in the palace, I'm afraid I will laugh and be generous." It's just a shame for her, and she has to bring her nephew with her, can my aunt bear it? ”

Princess Taiping smiled silently, looking at Li Longji, obviously he didn't believe anything.

Li Longji's attitude has already shown that he doesn't have to say anything anymore, otherwise he will show his mind about Xiao Jiangyuan's "male disguise as a woman", and he will show clues. However, Li Dan didn't speak, and Princess Taiping, who should answer the most, didn't speak, and the atmosphere froze here......

Li Longye was inexplicably panicked as early as when Princess Taiping opened her mouth to let Xiao Jiangyuan repeat "The Longevity Girl". He didn't know why he was like this, he was the least of the believers. After thinking about it, he felt that he must think that although Ah Yuan was an internal servant, he was not a gentleman, but he was not a woman, and his aunt asked her to disguise herself as a woman, which was an insult, not only an insult to Ah Yuan, but also a contempt for the East Palace. With Ah Yuan alone, he will definitely not follow, plus the third brother, it is good that he didn't lift the table.

But...... If so, he should have felt more angry, why was he panicking?

He wanted to say something, but he was afraid that he would say the wrong thing, so he pretended to choke on drinking, and kept giving his eldest brother a look. Li Chengqi glanced at it and knew what the younger brother meant, in fact, even if the younger brother didn't give him a look, he would still speak: "It's not more like revisiting "The Longevity Girl" and finding a fifteen- or six-year-old child to perform?" Aye, I remember that a group of well-qualified children have just entered the workshop, why don't you find the most handsome among them, how about playing a show? ”

Li Danzheng hesitated, seeing that his eldest son was pleading for Xiao Jiangyuan, not only was he not relieved, but he became more and more unaccustomed to Xiao Jiangyuan. How can she be virtuous, since A-Niang was alive, she has been living well?

Not only did she not die with the Zhang brothers, but she was also able to take the boat of rebellious Shuren, and the Chongjun coup took advantage of Yang Sixuan's east wind to make a so-called great contribution, and then joined the command of San Lang and became the favorite eunuch of the future Son of Heaven.

Why is she not good at dancing with long sleeves left and right, but she is not as obvious as Shangguan Zhaorong, and in the eyes of her sons, she is not a treacherous faction?

Thinking like this, Li Dan said: "Let's just let her act, wait for someone to go to the workshop to choose, plus a little training, once you go, the banquet will be over." ”

The ministers thought that King Song had spoken, and the sage should not listen to Princess Taiping, but they didn't expect it to be like this. Li Dan's reaction, even Li Chengqi himself did not expect, and Li Longye was even more surprised.

Li Longji only tightened his hand holding the wine glass slightly, and said in a low voice, "I don't allow it." ”

Li Longji said this sentence very unremarkably, and his voice was extremely low and very soft, but Xiao Jiangyuan heard it very clearly, and she could also see the slightly uneasy deep meaning in Li Longji's eyes very clearly. Originally, she planned to act in makeup frankly, at least to give people a feeling of self-purification, but her family Ah Lang didn't let her.

Could it be that as long as he dresses up in women's clothes, he will be seen at a glance?

Well, since Ah Lang and King Song have opened their mouths to stop them, if she gladly responds, won't she slap them in the face? She had no choice but to get up and go out of the queue and said to Li Dan: "Qi Shengren, the re-enactment of "The Longevity Girl", the slave maid is really incompetent. One is as His Royal Highness said, slaves and maids really have no talent for music and rhythm, not because they haven't learned it, but because they really can't learn it; Second, if the slave and maid are studying, rehearsing, and dressing up, I am afraid that it will also make the saint wait for a long time, and I am afraid that it will be much slower than going to the workshop to find a young child......"

"It doesn't hurt." Seeing that Xiao Jiangyuan spoke in a thorough manner, and did not leak, Li Dan's eyes lit up again, "You don't have to be exactly the same as San Lang back then, just be pretentious, just sing and dance casually." We don't expect you to be able to recreate the scene of the year in this moment and a half, it's just a chat of nostalgia and fun. Don't worry, no matter how bad your performance is, I won't punish you. ”

As soon as Li Dan said this, Xiao Jiangyuan was missing arms and legs, and he was going to be hard.

Li Longye couldn't help frowning, and just as he was about to speak, he saw that the eldest brother shook his head at him, and the princess beside him also gently pulled his sleeve. He looked at his wife with great irritability and reproach, and when she saw that she had only raised her head slightly, his momentum could not help but soften. He pursed his lips aggrievedly, and didn't be honest until he saw his wife pointing in the direction of the third brother.

I saw the third brother smile and said: "Since Aya said so, you can act casually." Saying that, he arched his hand at Aye, "It's just Aya, but Er doesn't want her to lose the face of the East Palace too much, after all, she has played it herself, it is better to let Er take her down for a little rehearsal, and she can't be too bad at acting." ”

Listening to Li Dan calling himself "we", obviously putting himself and him in the same camp, Princess Taiping's smile was a little more gorgeous, like a graceful red peony. Without waiting for Li Dan to answer, she said: "San Lang's words are reasonable, it's just that San Lang was only old back then, and I can't remember myself at that time, how can I rehearse for Ah Yuan?" I have a candidate, he also saw it with his own eyes at the beginning, and he is also involved in music and dance, compared to ordinary tricksters, it is not bad - Cui Zuocheng, you will take Ah Yuan down to dress up and rehearse, but it is faster, the saint and I are still waiting. ”

Cui Xiang immediately stepped out and said, "The minister receives the order." ”

As soon as Li Longji was about to speak, he heard Li Dan say, "It's okay." ”

He immediately changed his words and said with a smile: "I also think it's very good." It's just that Ah Yuan is a person from the East Palace after all, so he can't do nothing here. ”

"You are the prince of the East Palace, for her as a eunuch, you are so condescending?" Princess Taiping chuckled, "It seems that Ah Yuan is not only loved by Ah Niang, valued by Wan'er, and admired by rebellious people, but now even San Lang can't escape the palm of your hand." Ah Yuan, you are really capable, even Wan'er is not as capable. ”

When talking about the word "Wan'er", Princess Taiping's tone was obviously a little heavier.

Xiao Jiangyuan straightened up, lowered his eyes and smiled: "The princess praises falsely, and the slave is ashamed." ”

"Okay, don't say these polite words, you better go down with Cui Zuocheng quickly. You are born so well, if you pretend to be a woman, I am afraid that you will be gorgeous, I am looking forward to it. Princess Taiping said and turned her head and smiled at Li Dan, "Hachiro is also looking forward to it?" ”

Although Li Dan did not speak, he nodded lightly.

Li Longji slowly clenched his fists.

The swan song of the Tang Dynasty
