Chapter 165: Restless Night

In the evening, Li Zhen set up a sumptuous banquet in the Left Bank restaurant to celebrate Xiao Xi's promotion.

Everyone drank a few glasses of wine, and the atmosphere gradually became warmer, Li Zhen beat Xue Huaiyi today, he was in a good mood, he drank all the wine in the cup, and said with a smile: "You listen to me, today I saw Xiao Xiao Xiao fighting Xue Huaiyi with my own eyes, and Xiao Xiao's stick is only so thick-"

"It's a pestle!" Xiao Xi corrected on the side.

"Okay! It's a medicine stick, only so thick, a foot long. ”

Li Zhen gestured in his hand, everyone didn't know where to go, they all laughed, Li Zhen couldn't help laughing: "It can resist Xue Huaiyi's long sword and slash, it's good!"

Xiao Xi's face flushed and said: "It's because he doesn't know martial arts at all, and he drank wine and staggered, otherwise I would definitely be seriously injured." ”

Jiuzhi's face was full of the word 'envy', he drank two glasses of wine, and said depressedly: "Both of you have a chance to save people and be promoted, why can't I meet such a good thing?"

Li Zhen slapped him casually, "If you don't have a chance, do things honestly, or play polo well, you also have a chance, don't envy this and that all day long." ”

Xiao Xi hurriedly said: "Fat brother, I, the doctor of the Shang Pharmacy Bureau, is only from the ninth rank, and I am the youngest official, which is really not worth mentioning, but what makes me happy is that I can also officially treat people, that is, I can be a teacher, and I can treat some palace maids and eunuchs with a slightly lower status." ”

Jiuzhi was still full of envy, "You can actually treat the palace maid, or I'll carry the medicine box for you!"

Everyone laughed, and Li Zhen asked him again, "Didn't you kid want to coax Ah Ling to get it?

"Don't mention it!"

Jiuzhi's face was full of frustration, and he sighed: "If people are unlucky, drinking cold water and stuffing their teeth, I don't know which damn guy told her parents about me giving Ah Ling Cui Yu hairpin, her parents were very unhappy, and asked someone to return the Cui Yu hairpin to me, saying that my daughter is still young, let me find another good mate." ”

Zhang Li, who had been smiling and silent, said: "I know about this matter, it should be that Xiao Ye disagrees with his sister and you." ”

"Why?"

It just so happened that Xiao Ye was not here today, Jiu Zhi suddenly jumped up, slammed the table and shouted: "This kid bastard, why don't you allow me to be good with Ah Ling." ”

"It must be that he has heard a lot of people talk about your bad deeds! He said that you sleep in flowers and willows, and you are good at wine and lust, and if I have a sister, I will also consider it. ”

Jiuzhi's face was swollen and red, and he said with anger on his face: "That was before, didn't I change everything?" I never stepped into the Qinglou after Chinese New Year's Eve. ”

Li Zhen patted him on the shoulder, "If you really have a heart, treat her well, insist on reforming the evil and returning to the right, and believe that I will drink your happy wine." ”

Jiu Zhi depressedly drank all the wine in the cup, and sighed long, "Cui'er changed her mind before, and Ah Ling refused later, why is my fate so sad!"

"Fat guy, that-"

Xiao Xi hadn't seen Ah Ling, and he didn't know what to call it, so he hesitated and said, "As long as that Ah Ling likes you, it's useless for her parents and brothers to interfere." ”

"That being said, but. ”

Jiu Zhi waved his hand, "Let's not talk about this, Xiaoxi, I heard that your master was favored by the empress, when did it happen?"

Jiuzhi is like changing his face, just now his face was full of distress, but in the blink of an eye, he was smiling, his eyes were full of ambiguous curiosity, and he was full of interest to interrogate Xiaoxiao.

"This--it's hard to say. Xiao Xi said that he wanted to protect his master's face and didn't want to talk about it outside.

"Hey, what's hard to say, isn't even Lao Li favored by the empress?"

"Dead fat, how do you talk?"

Li Zhen was so angry that he slapped him on the back of the head, "When have I ever been favored by the empress?"

"Huh, isn't it?" Jiuzhi exclaimed in surprise, "The guards all said that you were pampered, that is, when you were her personal guard, otherwise how could you be promoted to deputy commander of the internal guard?"

Li Zhen suddenly realized that the problem was a bit strict, he actually left such an impression in the palace, but he couldn't wash it away by jumping into the Yellow River!

"Don't talk nonsense!" Li Zhen's face sank, "I was promoted because of the recommendation of Shangguan Sheren, and it has nothing to do with any favor, it's not like that at all!"

Jiuzhi stuck out his tongue and smiled, "It seems that another rumor is true. ”

"What rumors?"

"Say that you are Shangguan Wan'er's mistress, Lao Li, you are not shallow!"

Li Zhen is too lazy to smoke him anymore, this kind of thing is of interest to everyone, and he would rather believe those lace rumors, he can't say it clearly at all.

"Whatever you want! You say yes, I don't want to explain. He pinched his forehead, his heart was irritable, and his mood suddenly became bad.

Li Zhen drank the wine in the cup in a depressed mood, and at this moment, he began to miss Di Yan a little

Maybe because of the bad mood, Li Zhen drank too much, and even walked a little staggering, and at the same time drunk and drunk, Xiao Xi hurried back to the palace when he was halfway drunk, he was on duty tonight, and he didn't dare to stay outside for too long.

Only Zhang Li was left more sober, but he had to help two people, which was really a bit difficult, and at this time, Zhao Qiuniang got the news of the wine shop shopkeeper and rushed to the left bank wine shop.

Zhang Li finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Sister Qiu Niang, these two guys have drunk too much. ”

Zhao Qiuniang's brows were furrowed, she didn't care if she was drunk, but Li Zhen was already the commander of the internal guard, if he was seen by his subordinates, what kind of system would he become?

"Xiao Zhang, you help the fat man, I'll help Ah Zhen, go to my martial arts hall first. ”

"Sister Qiu Niang, I'm afraid not! I and Jiuzhi will be on duty tomorrow, and we have to go to the imperial city before dawn, and the armor and waist cards are all in Jiuzhi's house, I have to take him back, and the door will be closed soon." ”

Although Zhang Li and Jiuzhi were going to be transferred to the internal guard, but it happened to be the New Year's holiday, the approval of the Ministry of War had not yet come down, the armor and waist card had not changed, and he could not change the guard at will for the time being, Zhao Qiuniang also understood, so he nodded, "Okay! You help him go back, and I will send Ah Zhen home." ”

The shopkeeper of the wine shop found two carriages, Zhao Qiuniang helped Li Zhen to get into the carriage, and the carriage drove towards Fushanfang.

"Ah Zhen, what's the matter with you today, drinking so much wine?" Zhao Qiuniang asked with concern.

"Eldest sister, have you heard that I am favored by the female emperor?" Li Zhen asked vaguely.

Zhao Qiuniang couldn't cry or laugh a little, it turned out that he was worried about this matter, of course Zhao Qiuniang had heard that Li Zhen was promoted to deputy commander of the internal guard soon after he was reappointed as the personal guard of the saint, some people were envious, some people were jealous, and it was rumored in the palace that Li Zhen was promoted because he was favored by the empress.

In fact, it is no wonder that in order to save the face of the saint, Wei Shifang's case was suppressed and did not spread out, and everyone did not know the real reason why Li Zhen was promoted, so it was not surprising that they would naturally associate with the peachy aspect that everyone was interested in, and all kinds of gossip would arise.

"Ah Zhen, don't think nonsense, this kind of unfounded guess will slowly disappear after a long time, why should you bother with this kind of thing. ”

"I don't know, I'm in a bad mood tonight, I really don't want to sleep alone, big sister, you accompany me tonight. Li Zhen took Zhao Qiuniang's hand and begged.

Zhao Qiuniang's heart was full of pity for him, she thought about it and said, "Your eldest sister went to Chang'an today, otherwise you will go to my martial arts hall!"

"You can go anywhere. ”

Li Zhen muttered vaguely, seeing that he couldn't sit still, Zhao Qiuniang hurriedly supported him, and saw through the car window that he had arrived at the martial arts hall, so he said to the coachman: "That's it, stop!"

The carriage slowly stopped at the side door of the martial arts hall, Zhao Qiuniang helped Li Zhen out of the carriage, and struggled to help him walk towards the martial arts hall, she did not alarm the disciples, and directly helped Li Zhen into the small courtyard where she lived and into the room where she lived.

Li Zhen lay down on her bed, Zhao Qiuniang took off his shoes for him, covered him with her own bedding, sat beside him, held his hand, she looked at Li Zhen's masculine face, and her heart swelled with infinite tenderness.

Since the death of her husband, she has sealed her heart and forbade any man to approach it, but Li Zhen's appearance is like a ray of sunshine, illuminating her dull heart, she really likes this young and energetic boss, but

Zhao Qiuniang sighed low in her heart, she let go of Li Zhen's hand, and was about to get up, but Li Zhen grabbed her hand, "Sister, don't go!"

"Okay! I'll sit next to you. Zhao Qiuniang smiled helplessly and sat down again.

At this time, Li Zhen turned over, pillowed her head directly on her lap, and snuggled her face in her arms like a baby, Zhao Qiuniang was stunned, how can this work?

She was about to help Li Zhen lie down, but Li Zhen took her hand and stroked her face, Zhao Qiuniang caressed Li Zhen's full forehead, and the softest heartstring in her was suddenly plucked.

Zhao Qiuniang bit her lip lightly, helped him lie down, and slowly lay down beside him, hugging him tightly, gently caressing his angular face

The next morning, Li Zhen woke up from drunkenness, he sat up, only to feel a splitting headache, what happened last night, he couldn't remember it clearly, he looked up and looked around, the bright sunlight penetrated through the half-open window, making the room half-bright and half-dark.

He lay in a pink hibiscus tent, covered with a soft, incensed futon, his robe neatly folded beside his pillow.

There is an incense burner in the corner of the room, and there is green smoke billowing up, so that the room is filled with a faint fragrance, next to it is a dresser, hanging an oval bright bronze mirror, and on the other side of the corner there are two screens painted with pictures of palace ladies, the whole room is full of feminine atmosphere.

Where is this?

"It's my room!"

The bead curtain was opened, and Zhao Qiuniang walked in from the outhouse with a basin of hot water, and said with a faint smile: "You were drunk last night and refused to go home, so I had to take you to me." ”

Zhao Qiuniang put the copper basin next to the bed, wrung out the hot towel and handed it to him, "Wash your face!"

Li Zhen was a little embarrassed, how could he lie on the bed of Sister Qiu Niang, he took the towel and put the hot towel on his face, covering the shame on his face, but he had a strange feeling in his body and heart, as if something happened last night, but he couldn't remember it.

"Sister Qiu Niang, I didn't do anything foolish last night!"

"You didn't do anything, you lay down drunk and slept like a dead pig, and I slept in the outhouse and listened to your snoring all night. ”

When she said this, a trace of imperceptible resentment flashed in Zhao Qiuniang's eyes, and she suddenly returned to calm, as if nothing happened.

"Get up quickly! I'll make you a medicated porridge to cure your headache after drinking, and drink less alcohol in the future. ”

"I've actually only been drunk twice. Li Zhen scratched his head embarrassedly.

"I happened to have met both times, didn't I?"

Zhao Qiuniang glared at him, turned around and went out with a copper basin, Li Zhen looked at her graceful figure and walked away, a few beautiful pictures vaguely appeared in his mind, was it because he slept in the bed of Sister Qiuniang's eldest sister and had a dream that he shouldn't have? He felt ashamed in his heart, and quickly got up and put on his clothes
