"No one is allowed to speak out about today's events." Empress Dowager He said.

All the palace ladies agreed together.

"Go get me the bath water, I'm going to take a bath." The palace maids made a promise and turned to go down.

And at this moment, they all heard the Empress Dowager He lying on the bed behind them whisper in a lazy and seductive tone: "This dead man is so violent, he almost killed him!" ……”

The palace maids' hearts fluttered, their hearts pounded, and they hurriedly sped up and went out.

After Zhang Lang left the palace, he went straight back to his mansion. As soon as he entered the door, Moon Shadow, dressed in men's clothes, greeted him, glanced at Zhang Lang, and said with a smile: "The general and the queen mother are afraid that they will reunite after a long absence, and it will be difficult to leave for a while, right?" ”

Zhang Lang rolled his eyes and said angrily: "What is this?" Then he frowned and said: "This queen mother doesn't know if she is full and has nothing to do, so she called me to talk nonsense for an hour, and I almost fell asleep on the spot!" ”

Moon Shadow was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, looking extremely happy. The slender hand reached into the sleeve cage and took out a gilded and carved invitation card and handed it to Zhang Lang.

Zhang Lang took it casually, and when he saw that this invitation card dared to be made so brilliantly, he was amazed, and laughed and teased: "Good guy! Whose family is this? Could it be that he is showing off his wealth? ”

Moon Shadow smiled: "This family is indeed not an ordinary family, but the Cai family of Cai Yong, a scholar of the dynasty!" ”

Zhang Lang's heart moved, and he immediately thought of the legendary peerless beauty in the legend, Cai Yan, Cai Wenji.

When I opened the invitation, I saw that the invitation read: "Today's good date is hard to find, the government sincerely invites Junjie to attend the meeting, discuss poetry and literature, talk about state affairs, if you don't give up, please come before tonight." Cai's Mansion is up and down, and the Mansion welcomes you! ”

Zhang Lang said with a smile: "Talking about poetry and writing, talking about national affairs? ”

Moon Shadow looked disdainful and said, "It's just a common form of gathering among nobles. Use poetry as a carrier to contact all parties and win relationships. Even to choose the right husband for your own young lady. ”

Beautiful eyes floated towards Zhang Lang, and said teasingly: "Cai Yan, the eldest lady of the Cai family, is a famous beauty today, not only with a peerless appearance, but also with unparalleled poetry and writing, I wonder if the general is interested?" ”

When Zhang Lang heard Moon Shadow's words, he heard the so-called strong women in modern society, and he couldn't help frowning, shook his head, and said, "I'm afraid this kind of woman is very proud!" Wouldn't it be self-inflicted guilt to provoke them? ”

Moon Shadow was stunned for a moment, and then giggled, she was already graceful and charming, and this time it was even more like a flower branch trembling and dancing like a branch, which was really beautiful.

Zhang Lang couldn't help but be stunned.

Moon Shadow glanced at Zhang Lang and said angrily: "Everyone else wants to be close to Miss Cai, but the general is disgusted!" ”

Zhang Lang shook his head with a smile and said, "This kind of thing is meaningless, instead of wasting time and energy to socialize with others, it is better to stay at home and sleep well." ”

Moon Shadow said with a straight face: "It's not right for the general to think like this. This matter is actually very useful to the general. The current identity and status of the general must no longer be outside this upper circle.

It is necessary to use this kind of channel to make more contact with the figures of the major forces, first, to show the existence and strength of the general, and to avoid someone from easily provoking the general.

Second, and most importantly, if we can get in touch with other forces in such contacts, it will undoubtedly be of great benefit to the general's future! ”

Zhang Lang felt a little headache and couldn't help but rub the bridge of his nose, but he felt that Moon Shadow's words were very reasonable. He's in this position, and he has to do a lot of things even if he doesn't want to.

He just doesn't care about himself, and he can't ignore the interests and future of those who follow him. Don't talk about what to steal, but you also have to be able to protect yourself. In many cases, internal power struggles are more dangerous than external ones.

A guard came in from outside and bowed to Zhang Lang and said, "Fourth Son, a young man came outside, claiming to be Xu Cheng, the son of the Xu family, and wants to see the fourth son." ”

Zhang Lang smiled: "I'm afraid it's for tonight's party." He said to the guard, "Let him in." ”

The guard promised and retreated, and after a while, I saw Xu Cheng, who was dressed in Confucian clothes, striding in from outside, smiling and clasping his fists and saying, "Brother Yuan, don't come......"

Before he finished speaking, he was stunned on the spot, staring at the moon shadow standing behind Zhang Lang in men's clothes with wide eyes and an incredible expression.

Zhang Lang stepped forward, smiled and hugged his fists and said, "Brother Xu." Seeing that he was staring behind him in a daze, as if he hadn't heard his words, he was slightly surprised, and couldn't help but turn around and look behind him, and saw the moon shadow who was looking at Xu Cheng with a smile on his face.

Suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "This is Miss Moon Shadow, doesn't Brother Xu know each other?" ”

Xu Cheng finally came back to his senses and said with a shocked face: "Unexpectedly, it's really a young lady!" Then he looked at the two of them suspiciously, looking like he wanted to say something.

Moon Shadow seemed to see what Xu Cheng was thinking, and suddenly showed a charming and gentle look and glanced at Zhang Lang, making Zhang Lang, who was caught off guard, lose his mind for a while.

And at this moment, Moon Shadow said in her infinitely moving voice: "Xu Gongzi doesn't have to guess in his stomach. The slave family has been following the fourth son for more than half a year! ”

Xu Cheng only felt that a thunderbolt suddenly fell from the sky, and he was so shocked that he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

After finally coming back to his senses, he couldn't help but look at Zhang Lang with an expression of infinite jealousy, and said sourly: "I didn't expect that Brother Yuan would have captured Miss Moon Shadow's heart a long time ago!" It's really admirable! ”

Zhang Lang reacted, knowing that he was being put on a show by the demon of Moon Shadow, and couldn't help but glare at her. Moon Shadow smiled skillfully, looking tender like water.

Xu Cheng saw the two of them in his eyes, and felt that his heart was broken. looked at the two of them with a pitiful look.

Zhang Lang coughed twice and said to Xu Cheng: "Brother Xu came here at this time, is it for tonight's party?" ”

Moon Shadow smiled and blessed the two of them slightly, and said, "The son has something to discuss, and the slave family will retire." Then he retreated.

Xu Cheng looked at the door reluctantly, and finally turned around after a while, looked at Zhang Lang and said with infinite envy: "Brother Yuan is really a good means!" Absolutely put such a stunner in the room! ”

Zhang Lang didn't know how to explain, so he simply didn't explain, and changed the topic: "Brother Xu, you should have also received an invitation to tonight's party, right?" ”

When Xu Cheng heard this, he put away his messy thoughts, nodded, and took out an invitation card that was also very rich in bronzing and carving, and said, "I received it not long ago." So I came to meet Brother Yuan and go to Cai's Mansion together! ”
