The banquet is happy, and the spring in the calyx building is harmonious.

The saint was in high spirits and made a joke.

Xue Bai quickly considered whether he should offer stir-fried vegetables to the emperor, and he had already told Du Wulang that Fengweilou should be fully prepared tonight and be able to serve dishes at any time.

But it doesn't have to be.

Li Longji has already eaten stir-fried vegetables, and it is still Deng Lian's craft, and the credit for this treasure offering has already gone to Yang Yuyao. Therefore, the Yang family's sister will bother to arrange his life experience for him, and Yang Yuhuan also personally asked for help.

Xue Bai didn't need to compete with them, he was white, and he couldn't always think of going over the people above to flatter the emperor directly.

At the same time, he also heard that Li Longji was not easy to deceive, and he knew many things clearly, but he just didn't trigger it.

And they are facing this king at this time, and they are committing a great crime of deceit.

Yang Shenjin, who was standing in front of Xue Bai, seemed to have lost his soul.

Xue Hui continued to bully the king.

"Since January, Fengwei Building has been in the limelight, which is true, but the minister's brother did not come to recognize his relatives because of this, he and his wife are outside the calyx building, and the minister invites the saint to inquire to see what else Yang Zhongcheng has to say?!"

After all, after being a famous general, although Xue Hui did not intend to ask, he had a thunderous momentum in the end.

When Xue Bai heard this, he was vigilant in his heart, knowing that with Xue Ling's gambling and boastful virtues, he was never reliable, and it was too risky to let such a person confront him.

Soon, an attendant hurriedly came out of the calyx building and summoned Xue Ling and Liu to the banquet.

"The saint is in good health."

Xue Ling was a little drunk, and there was no cowardice, he gambled with the dignitaries of Chang'an every night, and he heard a lot about the saints, and he felt that he was also a noble, but he was not willing.

Liu Xiangjun behaved very decently, but his face was haggard and his clothes were plain, and many people in the hall secretly shook their heads when they saw it.

Even Yang Yuyao frowned, biting her lip lightly, consciously looking for such a shabby portal for Xue Bai, and losing a lot of face.

"Xue Ling, but you lost your son?"

"Back to the words of the saint, exactly, this is my son, and when he lost it, he only had the name 'sick'."

"What proof is that?"

"There is a family here, Liulang was born in the nineteenth year of Kaiyuan, and was abducted in Weinan Guandao in the twenty-fourth year of Kaiyuan, and sold in Luoyang South City. The students scattered their belongings and searched hard, and collected many clues over the years......"

Xue Ling replied in a very orderly manner and took out many documents.

Li Longji didn't bother to look at it, so he leaned over casually and said to Gao Lishi: "General, take a look again, is it like it?" ”

Colliers stepped forward again, his eyes watching.

If you only talk about body and appearance, Xue Ling is also burly and handsome, but he eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles excessively, and is far from Yang Shenjin's elegant and noble atmosphere.

"The old slave looks, some look like it, and some don't look like it, what does the colt think?"

Yang Wei was in a daze again, didn't come to his senses, and replied directly: "No, this person looks too depressed." ”

"Downcast?"

Xue Ling would never allow others to slander his life experience, so he immediately refuted it, and raised his hand to point at Yang Shenjin.

"Am I down? In terms of illustrious background, my ancestors have been generations of ministers and hairpins. When Sui Taizu Yang Zhong was still giving people a trilogy, my Xue family had been in the middle of the Ding food for a hundred years, a hundred years! ”

Although Xue Rengui once fell into the middle of the family because of his father's early death, in fact, his ancestors were all high-ranking officials, and they can be traced back to the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and they are indeed generations of ministers.

Of course, the family is like a big tree, with a trunk and branches.

Yang Wei was stunned, disdainful of arguing with branches and leaves like Xue Ling.

This person couldn't talk with his brain, and he pulled out Yang Zhong, in case he pulled out Yang Jian and Yang Guang again, it ruined the mood of the sage watching the lantern.

"Yang Shenjin, why did you rob my son?" Xue Ling still didn't give up, "I already saw that you were not pleasing to the eye, boasting of your appearance, why can you 'see the contemporary'?" Look, which of the princes in this hall is not magnificent? ”

When Li Longji heard this, he laughed.

He was very amused by Xue Ling's words, but he didn't forget to appease his courtiers.

"Yang Qing doesn't have to mind, Xue Ling is too straightforward to speak."

Yang Shen hurriedly said: "The minister doesn't dare. ”

"Of course, my Zhu Aiqing is indeed a magnificent, handsome and beautiful, and magnificent!"

"Your Majesty, thank you, for your praise!"

"God bless the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, the sages are gathered, the civil and military are numerous, the wild sages are inexhaustible, I drink with the secretaries, congratulations."

Li Longji was happy and immediately took a cup.

All of a sudden, the high-ranking officials in the hall got up one after another, raised their glasses and toasted, and hundreds of people, regardless of the color of their official robes, were really tall and burly, and their appearance was dignified.

"Grandeur Datang!"

"The ...... of the Tang Dynasty"

The sound spread, and the Calyx Tower was jubilant, just because the saint toasted a glass of wine.

But as soon as Li Longji put down the wine glass, he asked another question, which was very meaningful.

"Xue Ling, it turns out that you have also heard Yang Qing's bold words of 'seeing the contemporary'?"

……

Li Niangcai sat down and stood up abruptly.

The saint saw it.

Yang Shenjin's wild words of "my three brothers have such appearance, such materials, and look contemporary" was just said by Gao Lishi. This is to remind others that the saint no longer likes Yang Shenjin.

Therefore, there was a behind-the-scenes envoy who heard this meaning and taught Xue Ling to say this.

And the saint knew that no one could deceive the king in this great hall.

Die to them all!

Li Niang was thinking about how to skillfully expose Xue Bai's conspiracy to bully the monarch, when suddenly, someone took the lead.

"Sage, Xue Ling is not credible, eight out of ten sentences in his mouth are false!"

Li Niang looked back and saw that it was Zhang Si, the eldest daughter of Zhang Quyi's family, who spoke.

Zhang Si was a little drunk, raised his hand and pointed, and said, "Xue Ling, when I don't know you?" You gambled so much that you went bankrupt, but you dare to say to the sage that you scattered all your wealth to find your son and deceive the king?! ”

Xue Bai also remembered when he heard this voice...... This is the arrogant woman who escaped from the dark gambling house on the night of killing Jixiang, claiming to be the daughter of Shangzhuguo.

Xue Ling was a little flustered, and then realized that there were still his gambling friends at this banquet.

Hubu Shangshu Zhang Qiu Jianqiong looked at him at this time, and also recognized him, and immediately shouted: "Xue Ling, you owe debts everywhere, and you are eyeing Xue Bai's Fengwei Building, and you dare to make trouble in front of the emperor?!" ”

Xue Lingden fell to his knees, trembling.

Li Niang listened to the blood in her blood, thinking that these thieves were about to die.

But I heard Xue Ling say in a trembling voice: "Back to the saint, I'm really not for Fengwei Lou, stir-frying...... When I was in Fanyang, I ate stir-fried vegetables in the army, and they were dry and burnt, and there was nothing to eat. ”

"In the army? Wok stir-fry? Xue Bai suddenly reacted, "I seem, I remember a little ......"

Although he knew that Xue Ling was very unreliable, he still decided to bet the treasure on the Yang family sisters.

"Rokuro, you finally remembered?"

Xue Ling was overjoyed.

He said all kinds of nonsense in order to cheat money from his relatives, and immediately cooperated.

"Remember? That year, I took you to visit the fifth uncle, and in Fan Yangjun, I personally fed you the stir-fried vegetables. On that day, you still said, 'Grandpa, I want to fight for Grandpa when I grow up', and you finally remembered. ”

"Whew!"

When the willow woman heard this, she couldn't hold back, cried, and hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand.

Xue Bai turned around, looked at the two of them, and was stunned.

When Li Niang saw it, she couldn't help sneering.

The saints have already beaten Xue Ling, and this kid dares to continue to bully the king and bring about his own death, so it's okay.

"Xue Bai." Li Longji asked, "Is this your grandfather?" ”

"Hui saint, I don't remember much, it seems to have an impression."

"Xue Ling, I asked you one last thing, are you sure this is your son?"

Although Xue Ling was bold, he was inexplicably frightened, and subconsciously raised his head and glanced at the red-robed official.

"I ask you, what do you think others do?" Li Longji shouted: "Is someone else looking for a son for you?" ”

Intentionally or unintentionally, he actually glanced at Li Heng.

And everybody was immediately terrified.

The atmosphere was cold, Xue Ling and Liu Shi hurriedly fell to the ground, trembling and not daring to speak.

Suddenly, there was a laugh like a silver bell.

After that, there was a sentence, as if the spring breeze was blowing, directly blowing away the bitter cold.

"San Lang, I did it to General Gao."

Xue Bai looked at it, it was Yang Yuhuan who spoke, her voice was like a yellow warbler out of the valley, if she sang, it would be very good.

"Didn't we eat stir-fry? I heard the third sister say that Xiao Xue Bai, who gave her stir-fried vegetables, was separated from her family. asked General Gao if he could find a family for him, which was also a good deed. I didn't expect General Gao to really find it. ”

When she speaks, there is not only the innocence of a little girl, but also the mature charm, as well as the cunning and wit of a girl...... Even Xue Bai couldn't tell how much truth was true in her words.

Colliers immediately replied respectfully.

On that day, General Xue was on duty at the palace gate, and the old slave asked him to list the families of the lost children in Chang'an, but when General Xue heard it, he patted his legs and said that his brother's house was. Unexpectedly, the child who had been lost for ten years found a home in one fell swoop. The old slave only asked one sentence, he didn't dare to take credit, it must be the concubine who accumulates goodness, the Xue family is stained with Hong Fu, and Tianbao has a wonderful story at the beginning of the sixth year, and it is a good year. ”

"I see."

Li Longji was very happy, and stroked his beard Lang and said with a smile: "My beloved concubine is kind-hearted and the general is diligent, so that the gate that has been broken for ten years can be reunited, good, very good!" Xue Ling, Xue Bai, are your father and son still grateful? ”

"Thank you, sage, great kindness!"

Xue Ling was overjoyed when he thought of wealth and brilliance, and hurriedly kowtowed.

Liu Shi cried with joy, cried again, glanced at Xue Bai deeply, and thanked Li Longji for his kindness.

"What does Xie Zhen do?" Li Longji became more and more cordial, "Don't you know who you should thank?" ”

Xue Ling and his wife fell to the ground again, "Concubine Xie, General Xie Gao......"

Xue Bai was still dazed, and slowly raised his hand to salute.

"Hurry up, don't be polite." Yang Yuhuan smiled and groaned, turned to Xue Bai and said: "In a while, Xu Hezi will sing in front of the emperor, your poems are well written, but you have to let her sing a new song." ”

Her eyes were bright, as if she was very playful.

Thinking about Li Longji's old age, he still dotes on her like this, not only because of her beauty, but also because her liveliness and playfulness can make him feel interesting and feel young.

After all, who likes boring people with a straight face all day long? Compared with the concubines in the night hall now, there is another person who is also beautiful, but she has a cold temperament and doesn't like to talk, so Li Longji has been neglecting her.

Xue Bai thought again that Yang Yuhuan's words might also have the meaning of support.

Two months ago, she left the palace in a bad mood, and he asked Yang Zhao to send a poem...... She remembered the favor.

"The concubine praised. In front of the princes, they dare not offer ugliness. Xue Bai replied in a proper manner.

"Don't be too humble, the young man of the Tang Dynasty should be arrogant!" Although Li Longji is old, his tone is arrogant, "What's more, your sentence 'the clouds are in the blue sky and the water is in the bottle' is very good, such an artistic conception, one sentence can be worth a good poem." ”

"How can a saint have heard of it?" Xue Bai pretended to be surprised.

"Well done abacus." Li Longji smiled proudly, ignored him anymore, and said, "Xue Qing, take your brother and son to sit down and give wine!" ”

"Whoa."

"Okay, this kid's life experience is set, don't let the matter of fighting for a son disturb the Shangyuan banquet. Yang Qing, do you say yes? ”

“……”

This scene made Li Niang stunned.

She couldn't believe that her wise and martial father clearly knew that Xue Ling and the others were bullying the monarch, and he could indulge them, so whoever could make him happy would let him have the final say?

Since having Yang Yuhuan, the saint is really mediocre!

Turning his head again, he saw Li Tengkong sitting there staring at Xue Bai with only one side face, but the girl's feelings were obvious.

Li Niang was unhappy in her heart, and she couldn't get used to Li Tengkong's appearance full of joy and affection, even though she knew that the banquet was not the time to speak, she still pushed Li Tengkong angrily and woke her up from her contemplation.

"Li Xiaoxian, what are you stupid? You can't marry him, you can't marry him! ”

"Why?"

Li Niang was stunned by the question, and whispered viciously: "Because they are all bullying the king, in fact, his family is full of people, and your grandfather killed them!" ”

Li Tengkong's mind "buzzed", and the whole person was stunned.

Her lips opened and closed, wanting to ask Li Niang how she knew, and wanted to say, "You lied to me".

But she couldn't say a word, and she realized that it was probably true...... Because Grandpa is that kind of person.

"With such a big hatred, he will hate your grandfather to the bone, that's why he is close to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, you can't marry him." Li Niang is still talking.

Emotions surged up, and Li Tengkong lowered his head.

She first recalled the few times she watched Xue Bai behind the window of choosing a son-in-law, that day Grandpa asked people to go to Nanqu to inquire how he caught up with Yang Zhao, and a famous prostitute said that Xue Bai was not chaotic, she couldn't help but run out and say something.

"Grandpa, this Lang Jun has extraordinary manners, writes poems well, and is a talent."

The story begins here, and now, all the memories she has to pull out of her mind one by one, tonight's encounter, adventure...... You have to forget about it.

Born in the Prime Minister's Mansion, she has endured the brocade clothes and jade food since she was a child, and the wealth of the sky is there, and she has a share of the evil of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, and she can't get it, should.

Reciting the word "should" in his heart, Li Tengkong tilted his head slightly and didn't cry.

Li Niang's eyes fell to Li Linfu's seat, knowing that this matter was not good for people to spread, and she had to find a way to say it later.

"Zheng."

With the sound of a lute, the music and dance resumed.

Except for Li Tengkong, everyone at the banquet turned their heads to look outside the Calyx Tower.

At some point, a platform was erected outside the railing.

When it comes to ugliness, the Shangyuan Lantern Festival is the most lively...... Xu Hezi is about to take the stage.

Finally, in the sky full of lanterns, a fair woman was dressed in a neon dress and was peerless and independent.

She opened her mouth, and a high-pitched and crisp singing voice fell into her ears and turned gracefully to listen, but she could hear through the nine nights, like a whip in the air, and in an instant it overshadowed all sounds.

Even Yang Yuhuan was pleasantly surprised, straightened up, held the ribbon in both hands and carried the skirt, trotted across the hall, and went to the railing to take a closer look.

No one spoke out to discuss, the hall was empty, and everyone was listening to Xu Hezi singing.

There was a sound in the throat, and the sound was transmitted to Jiumo.

"In the empty smoke of the building, the snow has passed in the early years. The garden flowers are all jade trees, and the pond water is the Milky Way. ”

"Seven days of auspicious picture enlightenment, thousands of spring royal rewards. Flying lightly and passing on the color victory, the sky is full of songs. ”

“……”

After a song, the hall was quiet for a long time, and everyone cheered loudly.

At the same time, cheers were heard in the distance.

Xu Hezi's singing voice is transparent, it is inside and outside the palace, and tens of thousands of people can hear it, and he is really happy with the people.

Li Longji stood in front of the railing with Yang Yuhuan with a wine glass, talked with everyone for a moment with a hearty smile, and suddenly said: "Yongxin's singing voice is still the same, how can you sing the old song?" ”

As he spoke, he turned around and pointed at Xue Bai and said, "Since Taizhen said that you have a poetic talent, you will give a poem tonight." ”

"Back to the saints, the Tang Dynasty is prosperous, and the poems are gathered. I was too young to make an axe. ”

"How can Taizhen be wrong?" Li Longji deliberately made a blank face, "With her supporting you, what are you afraid of?" ”

Without waiting for Xue Bai to answer, his gaze had swept to the ministers, and he pointed to a courtier with a finger.

"Then let this kid figure it out again, Wang Qing will come first, and make a song with 'Lantern Festival Spring Banquet, Tianbao and Joy'."

"Commandment."

Wang Wei got up politely, groaned slightly, and gave a poem, entitled "Shangyuan Festival Calyx House Banquet Response", emphasizing in the title of the poem that this is a work that should be made, and he could have written better.

"The color battle is closed overnight, and the dawn of Qionglou is clear."

"In the first month of the year, the palace is full of flowers."

"Don't count the days of King Qin, who will be Luo Shuitong."

"The wine feast is suspicious, and the dancing sleeves are timid."

"Heaven does not act as virtuous, and people do not make meritorious deeds."

"It's still in the Nine Qu Banquet, and it's even more up to the Four Men Cong."

~~

Xu Hezi's singing voice, Wang Majie's new poems.

Li Tengkong also loved these things the most in the past, but sitting there at this time, he was always in a low mood, and he only hoped that the banquet would end early and find a place where no one would cry.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Xue Bai again, wanting to take one last look at him.

Xue Bai was being asked to compose a poem.

"But I don't know how to make poems, I don't know the style, I just put the words together randomly, and make up some long and short sentences without rhyme."

"Patchwork? Then you'll put together a random song for me to hear. ”

"Whoa."

Li Tengkong knew that he had a talent for poetry, but he felt more and more sour, so he whispered to Li Niang: "I'm not very comfortable, ...... confess."

She turned around and was about to exit the hall, but she heard Xue Bai's voice in her ears.

"The east wind blooms thousands of trees at night, and the stars are like rain."

"BMW carved cars are full of fragrance."

"The sound of the phoenix flute moves, the light of the jade pot turns, and the fish and dragon dance all night."

Li Tengkong's footsteps couldn't help but stop.

I suddenly remembered the situation when I met Xue Bai under the lantern tree on Qixiamen Street tonight. The carved car drove by, the plum blossoms were fragrant, the phoenix flute moved, and she glanced at him.

What he wrote at this time was exactly the situation?

Raising his sleeve and wiping his eyes, Li Tengkong still wanted to escape, but he felt that a pair of feet seemed to be as heavy as a thousand pounds.

She didn't want to hear it anymore, and she wanted to hear it again.

I couldn't help but look back, the detached young man was standing under the lantern, and a new tune had been read to the next que.

"The moth snow willow is golden, and the laughter is full of dark fragrance."

"The crowd is looking for him a thousand times."

"Suddenly I looked back, but the man was there, and the lights were dim."

……

Two lines of tears fell, and the woman in a colorful dress fled in the wilderness, at a loss.
