Chapter 15: Rebirth (1)

Li Yu was reborn on a summer morning.

At that time, he fell into the water because of an accident, contracted a cold and high fever, and was in a coma for three days. When he woke up from his coma, Li Yu was reborn.

When he just woke up, Li Yu was weak and couldn't be interested in anything, and he leaned against the window all day looking at the begonia trees in the courtyard and didn't know what he was thinking.

After handing the medicine bowl to Li Yu, she took the initiative to pick out some recent events in Kyoto and told Li Yu: "I heard that the queen held a lotus appreciation party a few days ago and invited the family members of the official scroll to enjoy the lotus, so it should be very lively!" ”

"Really?" Li Yu drank the medicine in one gulp, rarely showing a little interested.

"Hmm!" Seeing that Li Yu was interested, the maid added a few words: "I heard that the lotus flowers in Beizhuang are blooming well this year, and they are very delicate and beautiful, so they should not be missed!" ”

Li Yu was surprised to cooperate, and took the initiative to say: "I think we also received an invitation in our house, right?" It's idle to stay at home these days, so why don't you go and have a look! ”

With Li Yu's approval, the maid completed the task and exited the door successfully.

"Master, do you want to go up and have a look?" Dark One didn't know when he appeared next to Li Yu, and looked at the direction where the maid was leaving.

How could an ordinary maid who was serving in King Li's mansion know so much about the queen's mother and even the things in the other village. also tried his best to let Li Yu, who had just recovered from a serious illness, go out, which was very suspicious.

"No!" Li Yu waved his hand: "It's my mother's person!" ”

Rebirth is not without side effects.

Even with the blessing and protection of that mysterious power, Li Yu's body was still affected, weakened for a long time, and only now has he basically recovered.

During the period when he had just been reborn, he was weak and not interested in anything, and his mother was worried that he had come up with such a way to go out for a walk.

Li Yu raised his eyes to look at the dark one, and ordered: "Send a few people to investigate who is going to this gathering, and focus on observing the situation of the Yi family." Proceed with caution and feel free to report anything strange! ”

In his previous life, he was delayed by events and did not attend this meeting. This gathering became an important turning point in Yi Pingting's status in Kyoto, and also paved the way for Yi Pingting's position as the crown prince and concubine later.

This time, Li Yu was going to the party to see what was going on.

On the day of the party, the family of Li Wangfu went out on time and arrived at the party site.

Li Wangye is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, deeply trusted by Emperor Sui, and was called away by Emperor Sui as soon as he got off the horse. Princess Li also went to a place specially prepared for the officials' wives, and was in the same place with the queen mother and other high-status concubines.

Li Yu and other juniors were arranged on the other side of the lake, and the boys and girls were separated and each took a cruise boat.

As soon as he got on the boat, Li Yu met several princes: "Li Yu has seen His Royal Highness the Prince, the eldest prince, and the third prince. ”

"Hurry up!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Cheng Haohan personally got up and helped Li Yu up, and said: "Today is the party prepared by the Queen Mother, let everyone enjoy the lotus, there is no need to be so polite!" ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince all stood up, and the other people who were sitting couldn't continue to sit down, so they all stood up and let Li Yu take a seat.

The people around you have a sentence from you, and I have a sentence. Li Yu lowered his head and coughed lightly, but he didn't say anything, and sat down with a few princes.

The eldest prince Cheng Haoxuan has a cheerful temper, likes to play, and is very familiar with things to play in Kyoto. As soon as Li Yu sat down, he heard Cheng Haoxuan say excitedly: "Li Shizi is here today!" I heard that this year's lotus viewing party has also designed a very interesting way to play, and I think it will be very different from previous years! ”

"Really?" The sons of some of the officials sitting below were also interested, and they all asked what was different about this year's lotus fair.

The third prince, Cheng Haochen, also smiled and looked at Cheng Haohan, who was sitting in the first place: "The second brother and the queen mother are the closest, and it must be clear that the second brother is coming!" ”

Cheng Haohan pretended to be mysterious, and at the urging of everyone, he said that the secret would be revealed in a while, and he couldn't disturb the careful arrangements of the queen mother.

The boat sailed quietly on the lake, and Li Yu sat in the crowd and took a sip of tea without any fluctuations.

After discovering that something was wrong with Yi Pingting in his previous life, Li Yu sent someone to investigate everything about Yi Pingting, and Li Yu naturally knew about today's special program.

In previous summers, the queen would summon everyone to a party in the name of lotus appreciation, as she did this year, at the behest of the emperor. On the surface, it is to appreciate the lotus, but in fact, it is to give various families the opportunity to get in touch.

The older generation can expand their relationships at this gathering, and the emperor can also inspect officials at the party. As for the younger generation of Li Yu, it's just a blind date in another way.

At this year's lotus appreciation party, the queen mother found a novel idea. A stage was set up in the middle of the lake, where the young ladies of various families could perform and show themselves.

In the previous life, Yi Pingting was at this lotus appreciation party, a dance was amazing, and she won the title of the first beauty in Kyoto with unparalleled talent and talent, and since then she has become famous in Kyoto and has been supported by a large number of people.

At the end of Li Yu's recollection, the cruise boat also carried everyone to the stage in the center of the lake.

The music played, and the graceful dancers danced on the stage. Emperor Sui's personal eunuch came out of the cabin of Emperor Sui and his party and announced the rules of this time.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said. Three hundred and one year of the Great Sui Dynasty, the summer and the seventh month...... Special, the first lake cloud satin ten horses, silver one hundred taels, a set of jewelry. The second lake cloud satin three horses, silver one hundred taels, the royal gift of white jade bracelet pairs. A horse of cloud satin in the third lake, a pair of silver bracelets! Chin this! ”

As soon as the reward came out, whether it was the child's side or the lady's side, they were a little restless.

As the name suggests, the lake clouds loom on the fabric. It has always been from Qingzhou, and it can be said that a horse is hard to find. The jewelry of the Imperial Gift is also a good thing, and it is a status symbol when brought there. In this way, silver and the like become nothing more than the icing on the cake.

For a while, there were many brave and talented young ladies who performed on the stage, which attracted bursts of exclamations.

Even An Ning, who is a princess, thinks it's funny, and dances a sword on the stage, which wins a lot of applause. Emperor Sui couldn't cry or laugh, his daughter followed her mother, and she was all out of her playful character.

Gu Yueke, the daughter of the Gu family, also came to the stage, and she played the guzheng with one hand and was invincible, which made the officials sitting next to Gu Chengxiang ridicule that Gu Chengxiang's family had a good daughter who was both talented and beautiful.

Mrs. Gu also received a lot of envious glances among the ladies, and the queen also praised Mrs. Gu for teaching children, so that Zhu Yansheng in the side room wrangled a handkerchief.
