Chapter Thirty-Nine: She's Back

(pink 150 plus)

At three o'clock, there were only separate seats vacant in the open-air hall in Fanglin Garden, Du Chuke confessed to Yu Shinan, raised his hand to summon a palace manager, whispered in his ear, and the palace people trotted to do it. After a while, when the singing and dancing stopped, he picked up a glass of wine, walked to Li Tai's case, bent down and said:

"Your Highness, the feast has begun."

The palace man serving beside Li Tai handed over the wine bottle in due time, and after he took it, he glanced at the obvious vacancy on the right banquet, and then looked at the twenty-four steps in front of him, his thin lips pursed, and his eyes sank slightly. The people who had been waiting for a few days had not shown up until now, and he had no patience to play hide and seek with her, so he changed his mind immediately, and only after this banquet, he would personally arrest people.

Li Tai got up from the banquet, and before he could say anything, the hall had stopped talking, and each got up with a wine bottle.

"Thank you for the banquet in the Hibiscus Garden tonight," Li Tai looked around the hall, his back straightened, and his voice was low and deep into everyone's ears:

"Appointed by my father, this king has the honor to write the "Kun Yuan Lu", in order to study the local customs, with many scholars to leave Beijing, this time everyone parted ways to the south, passing through nine provinces, one hundred and fifty-six states, six hundred and forty-two counties, recording humanities, including relevant volumes from all over the country, a total of eight hundred and sixty-three volumes, two years is returned, handed over to the revision, to be completed here, all for the work of the scholars, this cup, this king thanks."

Some of the scholars present were the scholars who were escorted to the parade this time, and when they heard Li Tai's words with meritorious deeds, their hearts were happy, and there were onlookers who listened with admiration, and after Li Tai drank it all, a group of 200 people in the hall raised their glasses and said:

"Wash the dust for His Royal Highness the King of Wei and all the soldiers."

After a glass of wine, at the main banquet, Yu Shinan toasted Li Tai again, no one present was older than him, they all got up to accompany, left and right seats, and some people got up to toast the scholars who participated in the parade this time, for a while, the open-air hall was staggered, and the laughter was endless.

After three rounds of drinking, Li Taicai sat down again, and the eldest grandson Xi saw the sky, and under the teasing gaze of the eldest grandson Xian and Gao Yang, he picked up the silver wine jug and greeted him, knelt down beside him, looked at him sideways and chuckled:

"It's Xi'er's turn, I just said that I would punish you for drinking, but you haven't drunk it yet."

Changsun Xi drank two more glasses just now, a little drunk, Yansheng's cheeks, lips dipped in wine, open and close delicate, the upper body is slightly tilted, the fragrance of lavender carefully blended, makes her exhale like an orchid, such nephrite warm fragrance, I see pity, men in the world, how many people can refuse?

Li Tai looked at her sideways, his index finger rubbed on the shallow mouth of the wine bottle, which was different from his usual sweeping gaze, which made Changsun Xi's heart happy, and he lowered his eyes shyly to avoid it, and the wine jug hung on the side of his bottle, his lips were slightly curled, and he whispered:

"Do you even drink or not?"

"The eldest princess of Dingguo Pingyang has arrived-"

Changsun Xi's coquettish voice was interrupted by a loud announcement, hearing this announcement, the palace paused, singing and dancing stopped, mostly suspecting that something was wrong with his ears, how could Princess Pingyang come? Everyone knows that the third princess, who was only named the eldest princess of Zhengyi Pinding last year, as the second most noble figure of the Li Tang royal family, lives in Luoyang, which is even more difficult to see than the emperor in the palace.

But I heard the palace people shouting their throats for the second time, and the two hundred figures in the hall no longer doubted, "swish" got up, even everyone at the main banquet was no exception, for a while, as long as the leg was not broken in the open-air hall, they all stood up to greet each other, looking at the end of the twenty-four steps not far away, with different thoughts.

It has long been rumored that the third princess led the troops to kill the enemy in her early years, conquered the battlefield, and controlled an extremely fierce army and horses, but after the world was decided, the emperor did not take back her military talismans, and to this day, the third princess still holds the military power in her hands, and whether this rumor is true or not, this well-deserved heroine, let everyone respect, not only her noble identity.

A reception banquet for the King of Wei to return to Beijing, Princess Pingyang appeared here, which was really intriguing, and also made many people who speculated that the King of Wei had lost power, and they all cheered up and waited to see the wind.

Suddenly, the white jade paved, smooth and visible shadow of the twenty-four steps, there is a human figure, hundreds of eyes gathered together, the middle-aged woman dressed in the golden Luo Feiluan splendid palace dress, stepped on the last step of the steps, stepped on the white jade slab, stood long, calmly swept around the hall, ordinary facial features, ordinary eyes, so that everyone did not dare to look at it, they all hung their heads and waved their hands in her opinion, after a breath, they listened to the guests in the hall and said:

"See the eldest princess."

"No courtesy," Pingyang waved his hand to get everyone up, and when the two hundred eyes regathered, he saw a smile line rise in the corner of her eye, raised a hand to the side, and teased:

"You see, this palace has made mistakes in advance, and if they come, they will definitely feel uncomfortable."

The voice fell, and another special laughter responded, "Only you think so." ”

As he spoke, Pingyang's outstretched arm was grabbed, and there was an extra girl on the twenty-four steps, holding Pingyang into the hall, attracting the sideways glances of all the guests-

From a distance, appreciative, a girl in the prime of her life, with a slender posture and light steps, wearing a light yellow skirt, like a primrose swaying in the wind, and a light shirt will be half hidden; Looking closely, it is pleasing to the eye, the forehead is full, the eyebrows are full of moons, the face is like a jade white, the mouth is like Zhu Dan, a pair of peach blossom eyes, and a pair of water.

Seeing this strange beauty, hundreds of guests guessed her identity while pleasing to the eye, Princess Pingyang had nothing to do, and she was not close to her daughter, where did this beauty come from?

Everyone at the banquet here speculated, or a few people recognized it, saying that the faces of the few people standing at the main banquet changed a few times after a while.

Li Tai looked at the beautiful woman who was getting closer and closer, and there was no indifference between his eyebrows, and when his eyes met, he saw that her eyes were hooked, just like that night on the long street outside Lufu, she turned back on the horse with a smile of provocation, which aroused a trace of inexplicable fire in his heart - for a year, the suppressed thoughts finally couldn't help but shout when he saw people.

"Eldest Princess." The crowd at the main banquet called again.

"Aunt Huang." Li Taidao withdrew his gaze as they approached.

"Auntie." Gao Yang shouted dryly.

Pingyang waved his hand very casually, and said to Li Tai as usual: "This palace came back from Luoyang the day before yesterday, and I heard that you returned to Beijing, so I came uninvited. ”

"Auntie, sit here." Gao Yang didn't wait for Li Tai to answer, so he hurriedly responded, and pulled Changsun Xian again, wanting to give up his seat, but he didn't move anyone, so he turned his head and whispered to Changsun Xian, who had sunk his face for some reason: "Let's go, let's go and sit in the back." ”

However, Changsun Xian stared at the people around Pingyang, as if she hadn't heard Gao Yang's reminder, she stood motionless, and was pulled hard by Gao Yang, before she made a cold debut:

"Miss Lu, it's been a long time."

The people who heard her words looked at the unfamiliar faces who had just entered the banquet, and they all turned from confusion to surprise: Miss Lu? Miss Lu is that Miss Lu?

Everyone guessed well, the girl who was late to the banquet by Pingyang's side was the jade who appeared late.

Hearing the chatter around her, Yi Yu smiled appropriately and responded: "Yes, I haven't seen you for two years, Miss Changsun is already married to a wife, and now it's time to call you Mrs. Gao." ”

"Looking at Miss Lu's appearance, she hasn't suffered much in the past two years, and it seems that cruising away from Beijing is not a chore." The words of this rod overturning a boatload of people are not to be heard, and it is clear that the stage has been dismantled to Li Tai's head.

"Miss Lu," Changsun Xi, who had been silent beside her, hurriedly interrupted, "My eldest sister is joking, don't you mind it." ”

Yi Yu looked at the eldest grandson Xi who was standing close to Li Tai, like a pair of beautiful people, and the smile on his face did not decrease, "Third Miss is too worried, am I such a cautious person in your eyes?" ”

"No, you misunderstood," Changsun Xi hurriedly shook his head, holding the wine jug uneasily with his fingers like onions, "I—I didn't mean that." ”

Yi Yu secretly looked at the amazing beauty of the eldest grandson Xi, and did not make a sound, but Pingyang was a little impatient, and frowned: "Okay, long-winded." Ignoring the eldest grandson Xi who looked a little aggrieved and pitiful, she quietly glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Qiao on the other side, stretched out her hand and pointed to Li Tai's table, and said:

"Come on, add a seat here."

The people of the Spiritual Underground Palace had already prepared a spare table, and as soon as Pingyang gave an order, he quickly lifted it up with his hands and feet, put it down horizontally next to Li Tai's mahogany table, and placed a vegetarian fruit, dried meat, and wine cup.

Pingyang turned to the people who were still standing there and said, "Sit down, continue to say what you have to say, don't get in the way of the palace not having fun here." After hesitating, the eldest grandson Xi hesitated, although he was unwilling, he did not persuade Li Tai to drink, he could only hold the wine jug and return to his seat, Gao Yang also pulled the eldest grandson Xian to sit down with a gloomy face.

Yiyu sat quietly on the main banquet, looked up and swept the figures of His Royal Highness's guests, listened to the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras, looked at the faint flow of the Qujiang River in the distance, and suddenly remembered that three years ago it was also in this garden, in the face of the princess's anger, the guests pointed out, she could only kneel on the ground, and suffered a humiliating picture.

Chang'an, she is back, with a new attitude.

"Well, I haven't eaten lunch, so I'll pad my stomach first, and I'll call them hot dishes later." Pingyang drank wine while sandwiching the dishes into the jade plate.

Yu responded, ignoring the surprised and inquiring eyes thrown around, eating the side dishes she sandwiched over, and listened to Li Tai at the next table clapping his hands, and after a while, there was Gong E with a few plates of hot food on the table, vegetarian assortment, stewed six petals, steamed fish with green bones, halva soft and glutinous, with a cup of fragrant mushroom white fungus soup, this special dish, only this table is unique, outsiders only say that it is the reason for Princess Pingyang, but the party clearly understands in their hearts who this is for.

Turning his head inadvertently, his eyes were separated by a touch, and there was a person and two young hearts in between, but they never stopped approaching each other.
