One

Kang Tai, Anne and Fang Dongsheng and a group of people were blown east and west by the wind in this magical time-space whirlpool, and everyone was dizzy, no one cared about anyone, and no one knew anyone. It's as if you've been sucked into a cosmic black hole. Soon, they all lost consciousness.

The fantasy journey of time and space is about to begin.

It didn't take long for Kang Tai to open his eyes and find himself lying under a tall palace wall, with a palatial palace in front of him, clear skies, fresh air, and bright sunshine------

Was this a dream? He shook his head, realizing that he was awake. After a moment of composure, he quickly remembered what had happened in the cave, and hurriedly stood up: What is this place? What is Anne? He looked around in some panic, and after staggering a few steps, he cried out:

"Annie, An- Nie—"

Out of nowhere, two eunuchs with dust whisks in their hands appeared, and one of them pointed at him and scolded him in a girlish voice: "Hey, who are you? If you dare to shout and scream here, don't kill you." ”

He took a few steps back in fright: Is this a hell of a collision?

The two eunuchs walked straight towards him. He wanted to run but didn't. ------ He could see from the costumes of the two eunuchs that they were two eunuchs from the Tang Dynasty. Could it be that I have traveled back in time and space to the Tang Dynasty more than a thousand years ago? What the hell is going on? Is that wind tunnel ------ unbelievable. The place where eunuchs go in and out is the palace!

The two eunuchs walked a few meters away from him and stopped, looking him up and down. Obviously, they had never seen someone dressed like this, and they thought that he was the one invited by Empress Wu to tell a joke for Princess Taiping! The eunuch who scolded him just now, after looking at him again, turned out to be a little timid, so he asked him in a tentative tone: "Are you the funny master invited by the Queen of Heaven to tell jokes for Princess Taiping?"

When Kang Tai heard this question, he immediately understood; this is the Daming Palace! It can be seen that he has really returned to the Tang Dynasty.

Ahem, it's funny, they actually think of me Kang Tai as a funny clown, which is really unusual. Anyway, I can't find Anne now, so I just make a mistake, and it doesn't hurt to be a clown again, maybe there will be an unexpected gain!

Thinking of this, Yasuta replied, "Oh! Yes. I was invited by you divas to tell jokes for the princess. ”

"Oh, why are you here alone? Hmph! Those people really can't do anything. The eunuch who had reprimanded him said, "The only slave is clumsy, and he has eyes that do not know Mount Tai, if there is anything offended, please bear with the master." ”

"Oh------ so you're the master of the 'Carrot Head'! The other eunuch continued.

"What------ what kind of radish head master! Someone's name is Roport, it's a stage name, you know it! Don't talk nonsense if you don't know, just stay there. ”

After being wordy for a long time, the two eunuchs respectfully invited Kang Tai into the "Yuanle Pavilion". This Yuanle Pavilion was built by Wu Zetian for Princess Taiping, and it is a place for Princess Taiping to have fun and listen to jokes. But since the death of the colt, her heart has also died. Therefore, she was sad all day long, and the happiness of the past was long gone, even if she listened to other people's jokes there every day, it was useless. In order to recover her daughter's lost happiness, Empress Wu once issued an order to recruit talented people from all over the world into the palace. Whoever can make the princess laugh will get ten thousand taels of gold. If someone can completely regain the happiness of the princess, they can be knighted. But a month has passed, and there is still no one to receive any reward. In desperation, Empress Wu sent someone to invite a foreign burlesque master named Luo Porter to tell a joke for the princess, but he didn't expect to be bumped into by Kang Tai.

Two

As soon as he entered the Yuanle Pavilion, Kang Tai was surrounded by a group of palace maids, and before he could get his consent, he changed his clothes for him.

"Hey, you guys------ don't do that. Kang Tai hurriedly asked, "What are you doing here?" Let go of me, what's the matter with the two fathers-in-law? ”

"Oh, don't be afraid, master, this is the will of the queen of heaven. The eunuch who had reprimanded him replied.

"Yes, the queen of heaven once said that before telling a joke to the princess, every master must change into the robe that the princess wore before his death. Oh! The diva also said that it might have a better effect. The other eunuch continued.

It seems that this Wu Zetian is really out of control, and it is ridiculous to come up with such a solution.

"Hey------ hey, you guys------ don't pick my pants! hey, don't touch me. ”

It didn't take long for Kang Tai to seem to be a different person, he was luxurious, his hair was in a towering bun, and a blonde hairpin inlaid with sapphires was inserted between the buns, which was like a copy of the horse master, and the two eunuchs were dumbfounded.

"Oh, yes, yes!" said the eunuch who had reprimanded him.

"That's right. It's so similar! It's so much like it. The other eunuch said again.

"Who am I?" asked Kang Tai dumbfoundedly.

"Master Horse!" The eunuch who had reprimanded him said, "All right, it's done, go and inform the princess." ”

After a pillar of incense, Princess Taiping, accompanied by her maidservant Yue'er, came to Yuanle Pavilion. Several guards hurriedly knelt down to greet them: "Princess, Chitose Chitose Chitose." ”

With the princess's order, "Calm down!" the guards got up and stood aside. When the eunuchs and palace maids in the pavilion heard that the princess was coming, they all hurriedly stood up and knelt down in a figure-eight formation at the door to greet them, but Kang Tai stood there in a daze, without any response.

The moment the princess walked straight into the Yuanle Pavilion, her eyes were glazed, as if she had met her lover who had been reunited after a long absence. Kang Tai took this opportunity to secretly look at the princess. Is this Wu Zetian's daughter, Princess Taiping? Looking at her dignified appearance, plump body, and full of jewels, you can see at a glance that she is a noble princess, except that she is a little older, and the rest are no different from those described in ancient books. Her white and tender skin and even facial features, as well as her jet-black coiled hair, and a pure white silk skirt trembled slightly in the breeze, which really contained the royal noble temperament all over her body. But her eyes were full of sadness and sorrow, and for a moment there seemed to be an extremely complicated expression mixed in them, which was difficult to see.

Half a cup of tea had passed, but the princess was still staring at him intently, as if she were enchanted. Although Yue'er on the side was in a hurry, she didn't dare to speak, and the situation was very embarrassing. At this time, the princess must have thought that Xue Shao had come back from the dead, even if someone said that all this was all fake, she might not believe that the inner world that had been closed for a long time had finally begun to reappear. Many pictures of the past suddenly appeared in her mind, such as when she first met Xue Shao, it was in the bustling night market. The second time we met, they were sheltering from the rain in a thatched house. The last time was in the cave after the wedding feast. Although there have been thousands of things going on, every word Xue Shao once said is still echoing in her ears.

The more the princess thought about it, the more unfair she felt, why did she let them be separated so painfully, since God had arranged for them to meet and love each other many times? She felt that she was the most pitiful woman in the world, and that her beloved husband had been sentenced to death by her own mother for some political affairs that had nothing to do with her. The scene of the knife falling on the head always flashed through her mind, which made her lose her mind, and for a while she saw the man in front of her, who looked and dressed very much like her dead husband. Suddenly, she couldn't suppress her emotions and really took him for a deceased colt, and the joy of reunion and the pain of lovesickness made her completely collapse, and she fainted.

For a while, the surrounding palace people were in a hurry, and they began to panic. But Kang Tai still stood stupidly in place, like a piece of wood, at a loss. Yue'er hurriedly shouted at him: "Hey, what are you doing standing there stupidly, I didn't see Her Royal Highness the princess fainting, come and help!"

Could it be that there are so many of them that they can't even support a weak woman? Of course not. There are two reasons why Yue'er called Kang Tai to come over to help. One of the princesses fainted because of him, and he was responsible. The second princess regarded him as a concubine, and the first person she wanted to see after waking up must be him. Therefore, this Yue'er, who is good at observing words and feelings, is arranged in this way, but the ultimate goal is, of course, to please his master.

Three

Everyone helped the unconscious princess, and walked for a long time in a panic before entering the princess's bedroom, and after helping her onto the flower bed, Yue'er ordered the palace people to retreat and retreat, and those who should stay stayed. Needless to say, those who stayed were naturally waiting for the master to rest their minds. I saw that they were fanning fans again, and they were busy everywhere with condensing soup, like a group of ants on a hot pot.

Just as Kang Tai was about to take advantage of the chaos to escape, the princess suddenly grabbed his hand. In a coma, he kept saying: "Xue Shao------ don't leave Ping'er, don't leave Ping'er." Frightened, Kang Tai hurriedly took his hand back, and the princess, who was in a coma, was awakened in an instant.

She snapped her eyes open and sat up. He said in a short breath: "Yue'er------ Yue'er, hurry, prepare some wine and food, the horse is back." Hurry!"

"Yes, Your Highness Princess, the slave and maid will do it immediately. Yue'er was frightened and said, "Princess, lie down first!"

Although the princess lay down, her eyes were still staring at Kang Tai. After careful inspection, it became clear that the man was not a dead colt, he was younger and more robust than him, and his eyes lacked the worry of a colt. Although he looks like a colt, what is fake is fake after all. This made the princess, who had found the light, return to the darkness again.

"What a self-deception!" she said to herself, "I have forgotten the truth that death cannot be resurrected." Hey!"

It didn't take long for the food and drinks to be ready. On the round table are several plates of dishes, including braised turkey thighs, steamed Longhai prawns, braised lion's head, homemade jade tofu, Baiwei dumplings and a pot of fine wine. It just so happened that Yasuta's stomach was also rumbling with hunger, and he was drooling at a table of delicious food. Because the princess missed the colt too much, she took Kang Tai as the shadow of the colt for a while, and ate with him.

"Oh! What a rudeness," said Princess Taiping, "and I beg your pardon. ”

"Oh! Kang Tai pretended to be very funny and asked, "I wonder why the princess was so excited just now?

The princess actually pursed her lips and laughed a few times, it is really rare, so many people can't do things that they can't do, but he can do it in an instant, it's really not simple!

"He is a well-known master of burlesque, and he has such an appeal as soon as he says it. What a name it deserves!" said Princess Taiping.

"Actually, I think so! That's not a joke at all, to be honest, the princess can laugh because of my face. Kang Tai said solemnly.

"The master is too modest. Come, this palace will enter you for a cup, and you and I will be confidants and friends in the future. With that, the princess drank her first glass of wine. It seems that the princess really feels lonely and lonely, and needs a friend to talk to her and spit out her bitterness.

After hearing this, Yasuta finally dropped the stone stuck in his throat. From the very beginning, he was afraid that he would say the wrong thing and offend the princess. But I didn't expect to get through this level so smoothly. I really have to thank myself for this face! If it weren't for this face, I'm afraid I would have lost my head a long time ago. This is a good opportunity, if you can really become good friends with the princess, then the search for Anne will be settled. As soon as he thought of this, he took up his glass and drank it, agreeing to be a friend of the princess.

Four

After three glasses of wine, the princess and Kang Taizhen became good friends who talked about everything. Under the service of Yue'er, the two talked about the sky and the earth. After a few glasses, the princess began to get a little drunk, but her mind was still clear.

"I don't know where the master is from?" the princess asked him.

"Ancestral hometown, oh! I'm from Luoyang. He replied thoughtlessly.

"Hmph, is the master really from Luoyang?" asked the princess again in a skeptical tone.

"I'm ------ well, I'm ------ asking the princess for forgiveness, I'm ------," he said.

In fact, the princess had already seen that he was not the Master Robert. According to the princess's understanding, the real Master Robert is a bearded Xiyi man, who has traveled across the ocean from the far west, not a Tang Dynasty. If Wu Zetian knew about this matter, then Kang Taike would have committed the crime of defrauding the king, and it was inevitable that his head would fall to the ground. Perhaps it was that face that saved him, and the princess not only did not punish him, but continued to hide the truth for him.

"Oh, the master must have been a traveler of the world, and must have known many thrilling and fantastical stories, will you tell me?" asked the princess in a soft voice.

As soon as these words came out, Kang Tai was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. What was going on? He was afraid that the princess would see him as a substitute for the colt. He understands very well that the princess's closed emotional world, once it is reopened because of himself, then he will definitely become a victim of their emotional world. Therefore, the more tender the princess was to him, the more uncomfortable he felt. He had only one thought on his mind now, and that was to find Annie.

"This ------," he said again, "this ------ traveling around the world! I've got some funny stories or jokes! I've got some, but I don't know if it's to your liking. ”

"You and I are now confidants and friends, so why should the master be so formal?" said the princess with a slight smile.

"Good. If I don't say it well, I ask for your bearing. He said in a panic.

"Well, you can speak boldly!" said the princess, her eyes glazed.

I'll laugh at whatever you say, colt. The princess said silently in her heart. What's going on? Could it be that she thinks Kang Tai is a deceased colt again, or is there something else going on?------

"Good. It's a joke. Once upon a time, a blind man and a crutch rode a bicycle through a rugged mountain road. And the blind man who rode the bicycle must not be able to see the road ahead, so he naturally needs the crutch who sits in the car to be his eyes. So the two of them rode away for a short time, and the crutch found a ditch at a mountain pass in front of them. But the blind man did not know, and he continued to go on humming a little song, and then the crutch was in a hurry, and grabbed the blind man's ear," said Kang Tai, --- his ear, and so he cried out loudly, ditch ditch, ditch ------, and when he was finished, the stupid blind man thought that the crutch was singing, and answered him, Ahh Ha--- ha--- ha. ”

"Ha------ha-----ha-you-------, --- ha----!" the princess laughed heartily.

Yasuta also thinks that he has succeeded in amusing the princess. In fact, the princess listened for a long time and did not understand what he was talking about, and this smile may be for the "colt" in front of her, or for himself. The princess's mind is so complicated, I'm afraid it will be difficult to distinguish it for a while, so let's leave it alone and look down.

Yue'er is a smart girl, of course she understands her master's thoughts, and when she sees her master laughing, how can she be indifferent, of course she has to laugh along!

Five

The sound of laughter soon came out of the Yuanle Pavilion.

After eating and drinking, Kang Tai knew that his chance to ask her for help had come. But before he could speak, new trouble came to the door. Soon, the real Master Robert entered the palace, and the news soon spread to the Yuanle Pavilion.

If you don't come early or late, you have to come at this time, it's really a hell of a life, he cursed secretly.

That guy is indeed a bearded, fat and strong Xiyi man, compared to the handsome Kang Tai, it is simply a world of difference.

It didn't take long for the real Master Luo Porter to come to the gate of the Yuanle Pavilion under the leadership of several palace people, ready to meet Princess Taiping. This frightened the two eunuchs who recognized the wrong person, you must know that this is a great crime of losing their heads! The two began to secretly regret that they should not have been nosy at that time. Fortunately, Wu Zetian didn't know about this now, otherwise the heads of the two might have moved a long time ago.

"Her Royal Highness Princess Qiqi, the funny master invited by the Queen of Heaven is asking to see you outside. A doorman reported outside the cabinet.

"The princess said, let him come back another day, and her Royal Highness the princess has other arrangements today. Yue'er shouted at the top of her voice.

"But Your Highness Princess, I have come here on the orders of your Queen of Heaven. Narobot said half-yin and half-yang.

This sentence annoyed Princess Taiping, and slapped the table and scolded: "Hmph! Helplessly, the Xiyi man had no choice but to retreat obediently. Coincidentally, as soon as that guy walked away, Wu Zetian and the others rushed over, and things became more and more complicated.

With Shangguan Wan'er's voice, "The queen of heaven is coming to Yuanle Pavilion." "I made Kang Tai anxious like sitting on pins and needles. How could he have thought of such things that were unfavorable to him, and would follow them so closely that he was not mentally prepared at all. Fortunately, his psychological quality is not bad, and he has never shown the helplessness and panic in his heart on his face.

The eunuchs and guards of the palace, as soon as they heard that the Empress Wu was coming to Yuanle Pavilion, they all knelt aside in advance, waiting for her arrival. Not long after, Wu Zetian, the famous female emperor in history, walked into the Yuanle Pavilion with a stride surrounded by Shangguan Wan'er and several palace maids. In an instant, except for Princess Taiping, none of the rest of the people did not kneel on the ground and chant the blessings of the Queen of Heaven.

"Taiping, I heard that you laughed, and you laughed heartily, didn't you?" asked Empress Wu. But the princess never answered, but got up and gave her a simple salute, and sat down again. Princess Taiping's move made the old mother, who was over half a hundred years old, very sad, but she couldn't fully show it on her face, which was the sadness of the ruler. Of course, when people get old, their temperament will be worn out by the years, even the powerful Wu Zetian is no exception.

"Taiping," Empress Wu asked again, "has the funny master that Mother invited for you to come?"

"I've been here. The princess replied, "But I drove her away." ”

"Hmph, good, good, everyone get up!" Empress Wu gave an order, and everyone got up and stood aside.

"Mother, what else do you want to ask?" Princess Taiping asked deliberately weakly.

At this time, Empress Wu waved his hand, and everyone withdrew from the door very interestingly, it seems that the mother and daughter are going to talk quietly, and of course Kang Tai should also go out. But as soon as he stepped out of the threshold, he was called back by the princess. The princess not only refused to let him go, but also kept him by her side, and it seemed that she was about to launch an attack on her mother.

"Taiping, he ------ he is ------" Empress Wu looked at Kang Tai in surprise and said.

"Mother, is he very much like the deceased colt?" asked the princess.

"Like, too much. Empress Wu replied by taking two steps back.

Six

Suddenly, the situation seemed to be frozen, and it was very embarrassing. Kang Tai began to feel anxious in his heart, if the situation continued to develop like this, it would not be good for anyone. Besides, the real Master Robert has already come, and it makes no sense for him to continue pretending like this, so why not go down the river and be himself!

"Oh! Cao Min Kangtai has seen the queen of heaven, may you live forever. He knelt down and saluted as the ancients did.

"Oh my God!" Empress Wu suddenly said in surprise, "There are two people in this world who are so similar, hurry up." ”

The moment Empress Wu helped Kang Tai up, it was as if he had changed as a person, and there was a lack of a lot of the domineering in his eyes. In Wu Zetian's life, she has never done anything that she regrets, and even if she had, she could not do it. But there was only one thing that she regretted and remembered for the rest of her life, and that was the wrong killing of the colt. She knew very well that the death of the colt had hit her daughter hard, but the mistake had been made, and there was no use in remorse, and she could only repay it with her own tolerance and maternal love.

"You should keep your promise?" asked the princess again.

"Keep your promise?" the Empress Wu repeated with some confusion.

"Mother, what a noble man forgets!" said the princess in a cold voice, "but you have made a will, and if you want to repay the debt, your daughter has no choice." ”

"Oh, yes, that's the thing. Empress Wu said, "Mother, this is going to be cashed." ”

After that, Empress Wu ordered Shangguan Wan'er to bring 10,000 taels of gold and reward it to Kang Tai.

"Days------ days, what does this mean?" Kang Tai asked blankly, looking at the box full of gold.

"The queen of this day once made a decree. Empress Wu replied, "Whoever can make peace laugh will get 10,000 taels of gold." If there is anything more, the happiness of peace can be completely restored, and the official can be knighted. This 10,000 taels of gold is what you deserve, and I will not break my word. ”

"But the queen of heaven, the grass people are not ------" Kang Tai's words were only halfway before being interrupted by the Empress Wu.

"I don't care where you were invited by Taiping, as long as you can make Taiping happy, the rest doesn't matter. The Empress Wu said for the first time.

The only female emperor in history is good to Princess Taiping, which has exceeded the imagination of the world, and they all say that Wu Zetian is hard-hearted, which is just a one-sided statement. In fact, she also has a fragile side, and people's hearts are always fleshy!

"Oh! The grass people want to say," Kang Tai hurriedly added, "the grass people are not from here, and they are homeless here, and they will not be able to pay for so much gold. So------ if you want to ------ diva "

He was about to say, if you want a reward, then please help the grass people find someone! But before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the Empress Wu again.

"It's just a little thing, and it's worth your disobedience. Empress Wu said, "That's it! This day the Queen of Heaven will give you a mansion in the west of the city, and make you the head of the Sipin Tile Shop Division, and be in charge of the Yuanle Pavilion." What do you think?"

Kang Tai knew that this famous female emperor in history had blocked her way, and if she didn't agree, it would be a crime of disobeying the order. At that time, I am afraid that before I find Anne, I will already be beneficial. Therefore, he could only respond first. It seems that this Wu Zetian is preparing to leave Kang Tai by Princess Taiping's side, which is a bad sign.

"The queen of heaven, the grass people, oh! Xiaguan has another matter, I want to ask you for help ------. Kang Tai said in a slurred.

"You," Empress Wu suddenly shook angrily, and after the dragon showed off his phoenix robe, he sighed and said, "Hey! For the sake of peace, you say, let me help you?"

"Xia Guan wants to ask the queen of heaven that you can help Xia Guan find someone. ”

Soon, Empress Wu ordered a court painter to prepare for Kang Tai to find someone to paint a portrait. At this time, he really didn't expect Empress Wu to agree to his request so happily, which he never expected. Then, after thanking the great kindness, Kang told the painter about Anne's appearance and characteristics and some information about her.

Empress Wu actually alarmed the officials of the court and some state officials for his affairs, and in less than a pillar of incense, Anne's portrait was plastered all over Chang'an City. ------

In order to awaken Princess Taiping's lost love, the famous Wu Zetian actually used so many manpower and material resources to find a fiancée for a man who had nothing to do with him, which is really unprecedented and unprecedented!
