On the fifteenth day of the first month, the Lantern Festival is full of lights.

In the Hanyuan Palace, singing and dancing rotate.

The emperor sat on the imperial couch, and his drunken eyes swept over Li Xian, Li Dan, and Princess Taiping on the left side, and fell on the clan, ministers, Shangshu, and their families in the hall, with a satisfied look on his face.

Immediately he raised his hand, and the drumming in the hall immediately stopped, and the dancing girls faded away, and suddenly fell silent.

"Tonight's Lantern Festival, I am very happy, King of Nanchang." Li Zhi looked sideways at the kings.

Li Xuan was dressed in a purple python robe, bowed down and stood up with a solemn expression: "The minister is here." ”

"Write a poem to celebrate the festival and make me happy." As he spoke, the emperor's gaze fell on the county lord of Fuchang, and then he said with satisfaction: "Lord of Fuchang, come, come to my uncle, and we will enjoy your father's masterpiece together tonight." ”

Xia'er glanced up at Li Xuan, Li Xuan nodded, patted her on the back, and said, "Okay, let's go." ”

"Whoa!" Xia'er bowed her hand in the shape of a very small adult, and then walked quickly up the golden steps.

The emperor stretched out his hand and hugged Xia'er in his arms, and then looked at Li Xuan and said, "Okay, let's start with Twenty-Seven Lang." ”

"Whoa!" Li Xuan bowed his hand seriously, and then said with a deep groan: "Huayang is popular at the beginning of Hongmen, the sparse building changes, and Longlin does not reduce his demeanor; Purple gold flute, white jade qin, palace lights are bright and epiphany, drunk and lying freely. ”

Li Zhi gently raised the wine glass and put it between his lips, as if he was savoring something, and drank it all at the end, his face full of joy.

"I have been on the throne for 33 years, and I still have the same demeanor, drunk and free, and come to the ministers to raise a glass and celebrate the festival." Li Zhi raised the wine glass that had been refilled by the maid, looked at the ministers in the palace, and said: "Lantern Festival lights and shadows, Luo Qi dark incense, cars and dances, the world is auspicious." ”

"Congratulations to Your Majesty on the celebration of the festival, and the world is auspicious." The ministers in the temple stood up at the same time, and then raised their glasses in celebration.

"Drink." The Emperor raised his glass and drank it down.

……

When the night banquet dispersed, Liu Jinyu hugged Xia'er tightly, as if she didn't want to relax for a moment.

As soon as he walked out of Danfeng Gate and walked to his carriage, a voice sounded behind him: "Twenty-seven Lang." ”

Li Xuan immediately stopped, turned around in surprise at the same time as Liu Jinyu, and then arched his hand and said, "I've seen Uncle Wang." ”

Li Yuanjia, the king of Han, walked up to Li Xuan with some guilt and said, "What happened before, the twenty-brother of Wang Bodai ......."

"Uncle Wang, Uncle Ancestor." Princess Taiping's voice suddenly interrupted the words of Li Yuanjia, the king of Han, Li Yuanjia turned around in surprise, and then saw Princess Taiping and Xue Shao walking out together.

Princess Taiping, who had just gotten married, had already changed into a bright yellow dress, and her originally immature face also showed a bit of plumpness.

Jin Hai shook, Princess Taiping had already come to Li Xuan and Li Yuanjia, and said slightly: "I've seen Uncle Zu, I've seen Uncle Wang." ”

Li Xuan and Li Yuanjia also saluted: "Your Highness! ”

Princess Taiping glanced at Xue Shao, who was a little embarrassed, then looked at Li Yuanjia and said, "Uncle, Taiping has something to say to Uncle Wang, I'm really sorry to bother." ”

"It doesn't matter." Li Yuanjia smiled, then looked at Li Xuan and said, "If Twenty-Seven Lang is free, you might as well come to the house for a walk." ”

"Whoa!" Li Xuan bowed heavily, and then watched Li Yuanjia leave, then looked at Princess Taiping, and arched his hand: "Thank you, Your Highness, for breaking the siege." ”

"Break the siege? What's the solution? Princess Taiping didn't figure out the situation for a while.

"Nothing." Li Xuan arched his hand, looked at Princess Taiping and Xue Shao, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Your Highness on the harmony with the concubine Qinse." ”

Princess Taiping suddenly became a little embarrassed, and said, "The poem that Uncle Wang sent that day ......"

Li Xuan waved his hand and said: "It's just a wish from the ministers, a hundred years of love, a thousand miles of marriage, it's rare today's festival, Your Highness and the horse might as well go more." ”

"I still have to thank Uncle Wang." Xue Shao stepped forward and arched his hand: "I have offended a lot in the past, and I hope that Uncle Wang will forgive." ”

"It's all my own family, so I don't have to be so polite." Li Xuan bowed his hand slightly, then looked at Princess Taiping, and said, "If Your Highness is not too troublesome, then occasionally help take care of some Xia'er, and the minister will be grateful." ”

"What Uncle Wang said, the county lord of Fuchang is also Taiping's sister, Uncle Wang rest assured, there will definitely be no one in the whole Chang'an who is unhappy with the county lord of Fuchang." Princess Taiping's words were very atmospheric.

Li Xuan arched his hand with some excitement and said, "In this way, the minister thanked His Highness." ”

Princess Taiping suddenly laughed happily, smiling and revealing her white thin teeth.

……

The curtain swayed, and firecrackers burst outside.

Li Xuan retracted her gaze, looked at Liu Jinyu, who was holding the whole dozing Xia'er, and said in a low voice: "If there is really something in the future, then immediately go to Her Royal Highness the Princess, the entire Tang Dynasty, except for the Queen of Heaven, there will be no one who does not give Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

Liu Jinyu nodded solemnly, and then said in a low voice: "In this way, this time King Zheng's matter is being manipulated by King Jiang behind his back?" ”

"King Jiang." Li Xuan sneered lightly, then waved his hand, and said: "Although King Jiang is greedy, tyrannical, and blind in one eye is unsightly, he knows the current affairs, and he is lenient and fierce. ”

"Husband has already found out?" Liu Jinyu suddenly looked at Li Xuan in surprise, Li Xuan hadn't said anything to her about this before.

Li Xuan shook her head and said: "You don't need to investigate this matter for your husband, and you don't want to investigate it for your husband, Your Majesty has sent someone to investigate this matter, and now that the results have not been found out, the suspects have already come to the door to say that they have nothing to do with them, and the people who are really weak ......."

"I will find someone to say good things about the relationship." Liu Jinyu immediately understood what was going on, and then she frowned again: "But why is this?" ”

"That's something from the early years." Li Xuan sighed lightly and said: "After the death of my father, there were only orphans and widows left in the entire Peng Wangfu, only Aunt Huainan and they still took care of some, and the kings of other clans either didn't ask, or they wantonly bullied, and King Jiang was the latter.

In particular, the fief of King Jiang is in Jiujiang, Jiujiang is in the north of Nanchang, and his husband has never walked in Poyang Lake since he crossed Jiangzhou in the early years, and never went ashore. ”

Liu Jinyu heard Li Xuan say this, and immediately understood that the relationship between the two parties was bad, and she asked in a low voice: "Why hasn't my husband mentioned this matter all these years?" ”

"What's there to mention, this was a long time ago." Li Xuan shook his head and said with a sigh: "Although the palace was a little difficult in the early years, fortunately, there was still a mother and a husband who could support it, and then somehow, His Majesty knew about it, so he severely punished King Jiang."

It was also at that time that he was summoned by His Majesty to Chang'an, and he trained in Zuo Qianniuwei, and then there was nothing more, and now no one provoked him as a husband. ”

"So well, why did they pop up again this time?" Liu Jinyu frowned tightly.

Since she and Li Xuan got married, they have gotten along with the various palaces in Kaihuafang, Zheng Wangfu, Han Wangfu, Huo Wangfu and other elders have taken good care of them, and although the relatives of other clans are not so close, they have never had any malice.

"What else can it be, it's nothing more than asking for an official." Li Xuan sneered softly and said: "For the husband to take charge of the military power on the plateau and attack Tubo, some people naturally think that the husband relies on the prestige of the Tang Dynasty, and it is naturally okay to change to a person, so the husband will be transferred from the Luo Dao, or they will be transferred to the Luo Dao, and they will naturally be able to succeed if they operate slowly." ”

"It's a dream." Liu Jinyu's face was suddenly full of disbelief.

"Of course I'm dreaming." Li Xuan sneered disdainfully and said: "Although Brother Zheng Wang is not so shrewd, he is not so easy to calculate, but he didn't expect that it would be his clan brothers who did it, so he was shaken his hand, but in this way, this matter fell into the eyes of His Majesty, especially gradually finding out the truth."

Next, what Jiang Wangfu has to face is His Majesty's anger. ”

Liu Jinyu finally understood everything completely now, why King Han came to intercede just now.

After a slight pause, Liu Jinyu asked again: "In this case, if King Jiang is punished, will it cause estrangement between King Han and the mansion?" ”

"That's not a bad thing." Li Xuan turned around, and in the dark, he looked at his wife seriously and said: "My husband has been on the front line for many years, and his prestige in the clan is not low, if he attracts some marginal clan children to serve in front of the army, His Majesty will naturally be happy to see it, but if he gets too close to other royal families, His Majesty will inevitably have to stare at it a few more times, not to mention, there is also a queen of heaven." ”

After a sentence of divas, Liu Jinyu's face suddenly changed slightly.

Over the years, the heirs of King Jiang, King Qi, King Xu, King Cao, abolished Prince Xian, as well as the early years of filial piety to Emperor Li Hong, King Zhuang, King Huainan County, King Jiang, the situation and the end of the royal family are as many as a cow, although the emperor is dissatisfied from the bottom of his heart, but the real hands-on has always been the queen.

Although Li Xuan has a good relationship with King Zheng, King Zheng is a confused person, otherwise he would not be calculated, so although Li Xuan is a threat, he is not a big threat in the eyes of Empress Wu and the emperor.

Liu Jinyu nodded gently, she finally understood now that what her husband said was right, it was not a bad thing to have some estrangement with the clan.

Over the years, Li Xuan has been trusted by the emperor and the Empress Wu, and there is no reason for this.

"My husband is leaving tomorrow, there is really something that can't be solved, find more His Royal Highness the Prince and Princess, and they will spread the word to His Majesty's ears."

Li Xuan looked down at her daughter and said softly: "As for Xia'er's matter, although Yue Weng said that there will be no more trouble, but in order to avoid being calculated, it is not a bad thing to get along with the princess more, especially now that she is officially out of the palace, in the future, the lady will take care of everything." ”

Liu Jinyu nodded lightly, and then said, "King Jiang's affairs, don't we really have to worry about it?" ”

"No, you don't." Li Xuan's words were very firm, and then he said with a cold look in his eyes: "How to punish, that is a matter for Your Majesty and the Queen of Heaven, none of us has the right to make decisions for Your Majesty, and only in this way will there be less trouble in the family in the future." ”

"Good!" Liu Jinyu nodded in response.

Li Xuan stretched out her hand and gently hugged Liu Jinyu into her arms, and then whispered: "I won't bring any of them for my husband this year, but next year, Dou'er, Siniang, and their children will all be brought to Tubo for my husband. ”

"Hmm!" Liu Jinyu became more and more serious, and she pursed her lips tightly.

In the past two years, there has always been a major crisis in the change of imperial power.

Li Xuan took her two sons to Tubo in advance, just to prevent risks.

Holding his wife, Li Xuan looked at the Chang'an lights flashing outside the car curtain, and read softly: "Where in the world is the scenery?" Dili prefers Yuan Xi; Ten thousand heavy colors, construct a screen of peaks and mountains, half of the sky is golden.

Bao Yu Yinyu, Yao Jiang curtain, dragon and tiger throwing; The sand embankment is far away, the carved wheel is embroidered, and the king's house is scrambled.

Graceful and bustling day, Huile Fu Shenji, sea cave cyclamen; Drag the incense and shake the cui, call the hand to sing, the sky street Jinmo.

The moon is light and cold, gradually dawning, leaking and lonely; When I was young, I was crazy, how could I get it if I wasn't drunk! ”

I wish you all a happy Lantern Festival, a light drunkenness, and a happy life.
