Chapter 430: Entering the palace to meet Yang Taizhen

Scattered snowflakes floated in the sky over Chang'an, sparsely falling like catkins flying in spring, the snow has just been able to pave the ground white, but under the pedestrian's feet, there are traces of footprints, just like graffiti on ink paintings,

Outside the Tongyang Gate of the Xingqing Palace in the south stood a Kun Dao and a military attachΓ©. Kun Dao is over middle age, wearing a crown of green jade lotus flowers on his head, and his long hair behind him is already mottled white. She carried a whisk in her left hand and an umbrella in her right hand. The martial artist next to him was tall and burly, and in order not to oppress her by Kun Dao's side, he could only bow his back slightly and lower his waist, holding a sandalwood box wrapped in plain silk in his hand.

This Kun Dao person only cared about holding an umbrella by herself, and didn't care at all about the snowflakes on the head of the person next to her, probably because the other party was too tall, and she was not very happy to hold the umbrella high and give him a shelter space.

The soldiers of the Long Wu Army opened a corner of the palace gate, and saluted Kun Dao with their crossed hands: "Dao Chief, please come in." But he glanced at Li Siye behind the Taoist in embarrassment.

"It's okay, he's a foreigner that my lady introduced me."

"Then, please come in."

When they entered the palace gate, there was already a palace eunuch waiting in the open space in the door, and after seeing the two of them, he nodded slightly, turned around and said, "Please come with me, two of you."

In front of them is the towering and wide Mingguang Tower, as high as ten zhang, and the columns are densely arranged, like a horizontal Cangshan under this complicated snow scene. The eunuch turned around in front of the building and walked towards the side hall on one side, Gongsun Daochang slowly walked forward with a bamboo umbrella, and Li Siye followed behind. Walk straight through the side hall and walk straight from the promenade to the side of the dragon pond with quiet blue waves.

There is a faint water vapor on the surface of the lake, several painting boats are moored at the pier, a thin layer of snow is spread on the tile ridge on the top of the boat, the embellishment of snow makes the whole ship more three-dimensional, and the palace group in the distance seems to be a layer shorter in this patchwork snow world, the color of the pillars and doors is not so obvious, and it is isolated and floated in the air by white, especially the magnificent momentum, and there is no vitality at all.

Passing through the towering Yingzhou Gate of the archway, the Nanxun Hall is on the opposite side of the dozens of fenced stone steps, and the palace maids are sweeping back and forth on the stone steps. When it snows, the steps are always smooth, Gongsun Daochang carefully leaned forward and stepped on, Li Siye thought that he should go up to help her, but he was bounced away by his elbow.

"You go by yourself, I don't need your help."

At the threshold of entering the palace gate, the two of them rubbed the snow off their feet on the brown and black carpet at the door, and then walked inward, the long aisle was covered with a white carpet, as if the snow outside gave them a chill, and there were hollow carbon stoves on both sides every few zhang, and even the burning materials in the furnace exuded a faint aroma.

They didn't seem to bear to trample on the white carpet, so they walked around behind the charcoal stoves on both sides of the aisle. In front of it is a barrier separated by sandalwood, and there is a bead curtain hanging on the door of the moon cave, and a few women are faintly talking and laughing from the bead curtain, and their voices are more brittle than those of the yellow bird, which is better than all the royal sister Lori sounds.

The palace eunuch respectfully folded his hands and said, "Lady, the guest of Taizhenguan is here."

"Hurry up and invite Master in."

Gongsun glanced at Li Siye, asked him to calm down, took the sandalwood box from his hand, and walked in with the dust and the box. The waterfall-like curtain made a pearl sound, and then returned to normal, Li Siye did not dare to look up at the spring light inside, only patiently waiting for the result.

The women in the bead curtain whispered, as if the ladies were holding a private meeting with men behind their backs, and from time to time there were clear and laughing sentences, which were not true. Li Siye simply stopped listening, and looked down to see a few cats crawling all over the ground on the ground, the cats in this palace may be too well fed, all of them are as fat as white balls and black balls, and they are not afraid of people at all. One of them crawled to his feet and grabbed the hem of his robe, and Li Siye raised his hand to pull up the placket, and it jumped up and grabbed it.

"Lift the curtains."

The two maidservants stood on the left and right of the moon cave door, and lifted the curtain with the golden hook in their hands, and the scene inside was accompanied by the fragrance of Miao, and the three or four women each sat on the wide beard bed, Gongsun Daochang stood on the side, and Yang Yuhuan sat in the center with a deer tail in his hand.

She wore a crown of white jade hibiscus on her head, passing through the back and forward with a meridian hairpin, the surface of the cyan robe had a white Luo Qi shawl, her body was slightly blessed, leaning on the armrest, supporting her forehead with her elbows, like a lotus under the moon in the surrounding flowers.

She glanced at Li Siye with a light sweep of her eyebrows, and said softly: "The dipterocarp in this box is the best I have ever seen, and you sent it?"

"Yes."

"What do you want?"

Li Siye said unhurriedly: "These dipterocarp incense is the envoy of the Anxi Festival, Meng Lingcha, and specially sent someone to collect them from Tianzhu to give them to the lady. ”

"Remun Lingcha." Yang Yuhuan chanted the name twice in a row, and asked, "Fu Meng Lingcha, what does he want?" ”

"Fu Meng Zhongcheng just wants to leave an impression on the lady, and he doesn't ask for anything else."

"Just an impression, good, I've noticed."

Li Siye bowed and crossed his hands: "Thank you, lady." ”

When he straightened up, the bead curtain had been lowered inside, and Li Siye had no choice but to give another salute: "The last general will retire." ”

He slowly retreated to the outside of the hall, walked out of the main hall along the original road, and decided to stand at the door of the hall and wait for Gongsun Daochang, but after waiting for a long time, the first to come out were two dressed women with makeup, one of them glanced back at him, the corners of her eyes showed veins and styles, and then she laughed and walked down the stairs with her skirt.

This woman is in good shape, but just by looking at the way she walks, she knows that she is a prodigal person.

Gongsun Daochang suddenly walked out from behind, and glanced at her with a gloomy expression: "Let's go." ”

Li Siye scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, feeling as if he should explain, but he didn't do anything at all, didn't say anything, and had nothing to explain.

……

They walked out of the Jinming Gate, the fine snowflakes in the sky were still drifting, and Gongsun Daochang was holding a bamboo umbrella and preparing to leave. Li Siye said sincerely: "Let your old man run for this matter a few times, it's really a shame, this cold day, I invite you to eat something before leaving." ”

Gongsun Daochang shook his head indifferently: "No need, since the poor Dao entered the Dao, he is not good at meat." She put the dust on her shoulder, turned to him and asked, "I heard that you once saved Yang Taizhen from a frightened horse?" ”

Li Siye was stunned for a moment and nodded affirmatively.

Gongsun shook his head and said: "No, you didn't save Yang Taizhen, but Princess Shou, you are a smart person, you should know the difference between the two." ”

Si Ye crossed his hands on his chest and said with sincere gratitude: "Thank you for your advice." ”

"Well, be nice to her."

After saying this, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, which made Li Siye feel surprised. In this sudden smile, he seemed to see the elegant and sassy sword dancing immortal under the Xihe sword dance. However, in this trance, Kun Daoren had already walked away with a bamboo umbrella, and his back looked lonely, and the Chang'an people around him who were walking hurriedly with their heads bowed and arms around them, how could they still recognize her as the Gongsun Auntie who was famous yesterday.

The smile just now was not for him, but for her apprentice Li Twelve Niang, who was just a medium to convey information. And just now, Gongsun Daochang's words gave him a reminder that Yang Taizhen is not equal to Princess Shou, this is a fig leaf given to him by Tang Xuanzong, and it is also self-deception in the style of covering his ears and stealing bells. Therefore, whether Yang Taizhen has taken the credit of saving people in his heart or not, he can't use it in public, and if he wants to approach this line justifiably, he needs a more reasonable excuse.

Just like An Fat Man recognizes his godmother, do I also recognize a godmother?

No, he hasn't broken through the bottom line to this point yet.
