The servant dressed in green clothes walked through the Pingyang Hou Mansion and came to the window of Li Yan in the East Chamber, knocked lightly on the screen window and said, "Miss Li, that Second Young Master Chen is looking for you again." “

"Got it," Li Yan replied lightly, took off all the beads and hairpins, and twisted the bun into the most common concentric bun for girls in the boudoir, and took the light veil handed out by the maid and covered her face. Out of the room, he walked towards the corner gate of the west chamber of the Hou Mansion. Just as he was about to go down the porch, he suddenly heard a familiar call from his side: "Yan."

Mama walked down from the pavilion, "The eldest princess wants to see you." ”

Li Yan raised her head, and sure enough, she saw the eldest princess of Pingyang sitting with her back in the rockery pavilion on the side of the path, and she couldn't see her face clearly.

"Eldest Princess," she said lightly.

"Yan'er" Liu Jing looked at the lush peach blossoms in the inner courtyard of the Hou Mansion and said, "I know your intentions, but how can the daughter of the boudoir be close to a foreign man?" You're playing with fire. ”

"Yan'er knows," Li Yan lowered her head slightly, but there was a pride in her voice, "But if even this fire will hurt her hands, can the eldest princess still have confidence in my future?" ”

Liu Jing was stunned and smiled lightly: "In that case, Yan'er should do it herself." ”

Li Yan curts, "Yan'er retires." "I left without looking back.

"Eldest Princess," the maid picked up her body and hesitated, "Is it ...... that this Miss Li has not been favored by the Holy Saint to be so arrogant?" ”

"Alan doesn't know," Liu Jingyan said, "It doesn't matter if a girl is arrogant, as long as she has the capital to be arrogant." And this Li Yan is the first, she is beautiful and the second. She's smart. Smart beauties are arrogant, and men know how to pity fragrance and cherish jade. ”

From the west corner gate of the Pingyang Hou Mansion, a verandah comes out. You can go to the nearest house in the Hou Mansion. Li Yan came out of the house for the first time. I saw Chen Xi waiting outside the door under the willow tree.

"Yan'er," Chen Xi smiled, "You have been out for a long time today." ”

"I can't help it," Li Yan lowered her head slightly. "Although I begged Uncle Wang to deliver the news for me, I still have to avoid my brother's eyes and ears before I can come out. If my brother knew, he would kill me. "The moonlight shines on the ground in the evening. The beautiful woman's body was like a weak willow, and although she couldn't see her face when she lowered her head, Chen Xi was drunk first, and said busily. "It's my bad, don't be angry."

Li Yan smiled tactfully, "Yan'er won't be angry with Gongzi Chen." Son. After all, this is the doorstep, so let's go farther. ”

Chen Xizhen. Carry her. Walk away along the alley, "Actually, your home is near the Pingyang Hou Mansion." Yan'er, are you from the Hou Mansion? ”

He asked casually, but couldn't hear back. When I turned around, I saw Li Yan frowning slightly, and said with a new sorrow in her eyes: "Gongzi Chen, let's not mention these, okay." Looking at the Chinese network all the way, you only know that I am Yan'er, why do you know too much? ”

Chen Xi's heart slowly flashed with pity, and he said, "Okay." ”

"Yan'er is afraid that the son, Wuyimen, and Yan'er are just a people's daughter, how can she be matched?"

"You don't have to worry about this," Chen Xilang smiled in the moonlight, with a clear expression, "It's really hard to say if it's someone else." But we are the Chen family. A few years ago, when my aunt was still at home, she said that as long as we have a woman we like, we can marry no matter what status. My father and grandmother would help us if they didn't agree. ”

"Your aunt?" Li Yan couldn't help but be a little surprised, and she held her breath. "yes." Chen Xi didn't seem to be smiling, "My aunt is now Chen Niangniang of Changmen Palace." His eyebrows suddenly darkened a little, and he smiled instantly: "Although she is no longer the queen, her grace is not declining, and her grandmother and father have to listen to her." ”

"Hearing you say that, Chen Niangniang is really a strange woman." Li Yan's eyes showed a yearning look: "I really want to see it." "I'll be able to see Yan'er when she marries into my Chen family." Chen Xi smiled and said, "My aunt is a very good woman. So beautiful, reasonable, elegant, good at piano and book, and empathetic. ”

Li Yan listened attentively and murmured softly, "You can tell me more about Chen Niangniang." ”

"Okay." Chen Xi only thinks that his daughter's home wants to have him, "My aunt likes to play the pipa to relieve boredom when she is idle, and her pipa may not be good at playing, but the tune is novel and makes people never get tired of listening to it." Has Yan'er ever heard the "Beauty Song"? ”

Li Yan was stunned and came to her senses: "Is it the peerless beauty who has left behind and is independent?" ”

"Hmm," Chen Xi's eyes revealed a little admiration, "one look at the city, and then look at the country." In my mind, my aunt is such a woman in the city, and there is no one in this world who can compare to the earth. Perhaps it is because of this that His Majesty loves her so much. ”

Li Yan's heart slowly sank.

"Of course, Yan'er is also very good." Chen Xi thought that Li Yan was angry and hurriedly added.

"How can Yan'er compare with Chen Niangniang?" Li Yan said lightly, looking at the moon slowly rising to the sky, and said with a smile: "It's late at night, Gongzi Chen will send Yan'er back." ”

"Ah," Chen Xi was shocked and said, "Okay, I'll send you back immediately." There was still a deep reluctance in his voice.

The more she learned about that woman, the more hopeful she felt. With such a person who looks like a fairy on the horizon by his side, will His Majesty still see other women?

Men love the new and hate the old. What's more, it's a man like His Majesty.

Li Yan comforted herself and looked at the face of the peony in the mirror.

"Yan'er" Yunni, who was chosen by the eldest princess of Pingyang with her, pushed the door in, and her tone was joyful, with disbelief: "Your Majesty has come to the Pingyang Marquis Mansion." ”

The hand of grooming can't help but pause.

"Yan'er is so beautiful." Yun Ni looked at Li Yan's face in the mirror in a daze, showing a faint envy and jealousy on her face, "This time you will definitely be able to take a fancy to Your Majesty and bring it back to Weiyang Palace." Since then, she has been on the rise like Empress Wei. "Sister Yunni, what do you say, my sister is also very beautiful." Li Yanyan replied. He asked, "Did Your Majesty bring anyone with you?" ”

Yunni's eyes rolled to know what Li Yan meant. said: "Your Majesty didn't bring any palace concubines. The only female dependents with me. But it was Liu Ling, the eldest princess of Feiyue. ”

"Liu Ling" Li Yan weighed it in her heart, everyone in Chang'an City knew that Princess Feiyue and Chen Niangniang were sisters. Now His Majesty has come to the Pingyang Marquis Mansion alone. did not take Chen Niangniang, who had been favored for several years, but the eldest princess of Feiyue appeared in the Pingyang Hou Mansion, with whom she was not on good terms, what does this mean?

She lowered her eyes and said lightly: "Your Majesty will come and sing and dance later, Sister Yunni won't go back to dress up soon?" ”

"I'll tell you and I'll go." Yunni woke up like a dream and immediately turned away.

Tear down the half-combed Wangxian ring bun. Li Yan snorted coldly, and Mu Ji slowly slid over the green silk to re-dress. The eldest princess came out smiling. The smile was slightly emotional. "Over the years, the emperor's brother has come to my Pingyang Marquis Mansion."

Liu Che couldn't help but think of the time when he first ascended to the throne. Shang Buzhi often went to his brother-in-law's house to dissipate his depression in the court. Looking back now, it feels like a world away.

"The imperial sister is always the imperial sister of the land," Liu Che said with a smile, Liu Jing was by his side in those years, and gently persuaded him to understand this friendship, although he was cold, he always remembered Wen Yan and said: "When the weather is hotter, the imperial sister will go to Ganquan with me." ”

"That's good, of course." Liu Jing's eyes were slightly brighter, and Ganquan Palace was a good place, and Li Yan was a great achievement between drinking and music.

"Okay," Liu Ling said with a smile, "There will be some time before I leave Ganquan." Ling: I heard that Sister Pingyang is the most famous singer and dancer here, can you please come and have a look? ”

Liu Jing's face couldn't help but blush, and she clapped her hands and said, "Don't call them out yet, relieve your majesty's boredom." ”

Alan bent his knees and took the order, and said, The East Chamber singers and dancers were already ready to stop, looking at her with eager eyes. Alan looked at it for a moment and couldn't help but ask a little strangely, "What about Li Yan?" ”

"Alan's sister Li Yan said that she suffered from the wind and cold last night, and now she is not good-looking, so she still won't go." Yunni replied, carefully controlling the joy in her voice.

Alan couldn't help but sink his face: "It's rare that Your Majesty came to the Hou Mansion and didn't get sick sooner or later, but at this time, he was sick." It's really not a blessing. "Sister Alain," Yunni asked cautiously, "Do you want to go and see her?" ”

"Forget it," Alandau pointed to Yunni, "You will lead the dance of this Lianlian singing and dancing." Remember that this is your rare opportunity, whether it is success or failure, and you will do it again. ”

"Yes." Yun Niyan replied.

After the flowery women left, Li Yan pushed the door out, looked at Yunni's beautiful and slender back, and smiled slightly. "Miss Li is a very smart person." The grandmother under the corridor said lightly.

"Mama Miaozan." She replied with a smile: "Mama, if you think Yan'er can succeed, can you do Yan'er another favor?" ”

The lobby of the Hou Mansion of Pingyang

The beautiful woman came in and put on a sultry soft waist, a green skirt and a white dress, and suddenly felt the breath of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River coming.

The clouds danced in the midst of everyone, as if it was the best branch of the water that bloomed, and the flower core of the ground sang: "Jiangnan can pick lotus leaves, He Tiantian." ”

Alan gently returned to the side of the eldest princess of Pingyang, and said in the ear of Liu Jing, who frowned slightly, "Li Yan is sick and can't come." She thought that the eldest princess would be angry, but she saw Liu Jing smiling slightly and showing appreciation. The singing and dancing of the Pingyang Hou Mansion is naturally excellent, and it is more charming and exquisite than the special performance and rehearsal place of Weiyang Palace. The woman who sang was also a stunning beauty, her lips were not pointed, and her eyebrows were raised lightly. The girl's gaze swept over the black-clothed emperor on the upper seat, her heroic and extraordinary face flushed, and she almost stepped on the wrong step.

That is the most noble lover in the world that the women of the world hope for in their dreams.

Liu Che lowered his glass slightly between the moving songs and dances, and drank it all. It was in this hall that he met Wei Zifu Yan, but his singing voice was graceful, his waist was soft and light, and all kinds of tenderness were sprinkled in his body, which made his heart pound, and he forgot the bright smile of Gillian in the Jiaofang Palace.

Maybe it's really that things have changed, and I slowly lost my original mood. What I remember is the smile on Gillian's lips, which is light and breezy. Even if the person who sang the song had a thousand charms, better than Wei Zifu back then, he couldn't make his heart ripple again.

The Tsing Yi attendant held the wine jug, and Yang proudly took it and poured it for Liu Che.

Here, Liu Ling paid attention to Liu Che and Liu Jing's expressions, smiled lightly, and drank a glass. Soon it was also filled.

"Okay," Liu Che flicked his sleeves and said lightly, "Singing and dancing are boring, and the imperial sister will accompany me to the back garden of the Pingyang Marquis Mansion for a walk." ”

The woman who was singing and dancing lightly stopped for a moment, and Yun Ni suddenly felt that tears were already hidden in her eyes when she was humiliated. The eldest princess of Pingyang rose up, but there was no disappointment on her face, she waved her hand to let them retreat, and said with a smile: "Since the imperial brother has spoken, sister dares to disobey her fate?" ”
