Chapter 162: Taiping Intentions

Finally, the sun set, the banquet was finally over, and the prince took his leave.

Looking at his distant back, Qin Huaiyu felt a lot, and was speechless for a while; Xue Dingshan was unhappy, with a look of disdain, and even couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of saliva, still unrelieved, and snorted fiercely.

"What's wrong with Marshal Xue? Aren't you satisfied with the crown prince?" Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help but ask when she saw it.

Xue Dingshan smiled embarrassedly before he said: "No, no, alas, it's just that I didn't expect that our prince of the Tang Dynasty would be like this, it's too disappointing, alas, it's a pity!"

When Princess Taiping heard this, she smiled unconsciously: "Haha, what's wrong with Marshal Xue?

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Xue Dingshan couldn't help but tremble in his heart when he heard this, afraid that she would see his anger and inevitably cause trouble again.

"Haha, after all, you two marshals know the affairs and don't follow this bastard prince to fool around!" Gaozong Li Zhi had already walked out of the hut.

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live, long live, the queen is a thousand years old!"

"Get up, you all get up, haha! Princess Taiping is really well-intentioned, but it's a pity that people can't wake up in their dreams!" Wu Meiniang said humorously.

"Okay, Taiping, let's set up another table for a banquet, we also want to have a toast with you!" Gaozong Li Zhi said happily.

"Yes, father, I'll arrange it immediately!Yingxue, you just wait for my brother Han, Lian'er, you come with me!" Taiping hurriedly went to make arrangements.

"The emperor and queen mother, it's better for us to be peaceful, haha!" Xiao Han said proudly.

"Yes, yes, just the two of you are the best, Han'er, just now, why were you soft again?" Wu Meiniang's eyes couldn't help but thorn again.

Xiao Han smiled and said, "The queen mother, you have to give the prince a step, as long as he knows that he is wrong, the last time he asks for a crime, the emperor and the queen mother are magnanimous, isn't it okay?" Take your time, don't worry, isn't it?"

Wu Meiniang thought about it before she smiled: "Maybe you're right, okay, do what you want at the moment, haha, let him go first, and see how our prince performs, how about it, emperor?"

"Yes, yes, you're all right, then let's take a look and see what other tricks he has?" said Gaozong Li Zhi.

The implication is that he is already extremely disappointed in the crown prince, and he is only waiting for the best time; it seems that the prince is really hanging? Qin Huaiyu's mood suddenly became heavy: he didn't know what to do!

Empress Wu Meiniang smiled again: "Haha, the two marshals today have impressed us, at least, you didn't echo that stinky boy; hmph, you even said that kind of thing, and you have already done that; two marshals, do you think our prince is qualified? Can he afford our Tang Dynasty? Two marshals, please tell the truth, your attitude is very important, don't go the wrong way, our Datang doesn't need the Xuanwu Gate anymore, right, Han'er?"

It seems that she didn't want to let go of these two marshals, so she had to force them to make a statement, but she brought Xiao Han with her! Xiao Han smiled and nodded.

"Alas, I didn't think that the prince was this kind of person, alas, it disappointed us too much! He is no different from the gangsters in Chang'an City, how can a person like this be the Tai of our Tang Dynasty? It's ridiculous!" Xue Dingshan finally said that he looked down on this prince more and more!

In his heart: Only Xiao Han is the real prince, and his talent is enough to prove that he is a qualified prince, and even, he is definitely not worse than Taizong Li Shimin!

When Qin Huaiyu heard this, he had to nod: "Yes, Marshal Xue is right! The prince is indeed too disappointing to us, but it's a pity, alas, it's a pity!"

"What's the pity? He was originally a dou who couldn't help up; hmph, after sitting in the court for more than ten days, he couldn't do any political affairs; instead, he fooled around with the maids, and also belittled our family's Taiping and Shangguan Wan'er, like this kind of incompetent and immoral prince, he really wants to pass on the Tang Dynasty to him, but I'm afraid that he will be out of play in a few years, haha!" Wu Meiniang sneered.

When everyone heard this, they felt a chill again, especially the two marshals, but as it was, no one dared to refute her!

Princess Taiping has returned, and when she heard this, she smiled and said, "Father and Queen Mother, it's a little cold, let's go to the hall, it's warmer there, everyone eats and chats, how about it?"

The evening breeze gradually blew, and the cold feeling came to people's hearts again, and Xiao Han's heart was even colder: the second day of February in Chang'an was so cold, it seemed that the snow that had not yet gone had penetrated into his heart again!

Back in the hall, Xiao Han said: "The emperor and the queen, let's not mention those unhappy things, okay? Taiping, let's pay a few glasses to the emperor and queen in a while!"

"Yes, Brother Han, Taiping will follow Brother Han's teachings, after a while, we will play a game, whoever loses, just tell a joke, how about it?" Princess Taiping thought and said.

"Okay, Taiping's proposal is good, haha, then, two marshals, you have to be ready to tell jokes, haha, let's Taiping judge, if you don't speak well, you will be fined three glasses of wine!"

"Yes, follow the will of the empress!" The two marshals Qin and Xue hurriedly promised, but they beat a drum in their hearts: What kind of joke are you telling? This is much more difficult than asking them to go to war!

Xiao Han listened, and also felt that Princess Taiping must be deliberately embarrassing the two marshals, but she also understood that it was to please the emperor and the queen, lest Wu Meiniang continue to ask, and the faces of the two marshals of Qin and Xue would be even more embarrassing.

"Then, princess, what kind of game are you playing? What are the rules? After that, how do we start?" Shangguan Wan'er said happily, she also felt that the air was too dull, although she had basically convinced the two marshals, if she continued to talk deeply, she was afraid that things would repeat.

Princess Taiping thought for a while, and suddenly said: "The topic is from me, hehe, this game and rules, of course, it was completed by our female Zhuge Wan'er, haha, this princess is in charge of supervising the wine, I like this job the most!"

"Okay, I know that you are Laipi, and I will spare you, let's count, count one, two, three...... Whoever has an even number will tell jokes, and if they don't tell it well, they will drink, how about it?" Shangguan Wan'er designed a simplest game.

When Wu Meiniang heard this, she immediately said happily: "Okay, just do it, Your Majesty, you can't be an exception;

"Okay, Queen Mother, but you can't be partial, especially, you can't be partial to your father, haha, otherwise, this prison army will be punished for drinking!" Princess Taiping pretended to be stern.

"Okay, then, this palace has begun, one!" Wu Meiniang said.

"Two!" Gaozong Li Zhi hurriedly reported the number.

"Haha, Father, it's your turn, you tell jokes!" Princess Taiping said proudly.

"Ah!" When Gaozong heard this, he smiled, frowned, and said: "Okay, then let me tell you a "Hundred Parables": Once upon a time, there was a stupid man who went to a friend's house as a guest, and the host left him to eat, but he thought the dish had no taste, so the master added some salt to the dish, and he felt that it tasted very good. The stupid man thought to himself, "The taste of the food comes from the salt, and it will be so delicious if you add a little more, so if you eat more, it will taste very good." After thinking so, the foolish man asked his master for a cup of salt, and swallowed it in one gulp, but it was so salty that he hurriedly spit it out of his mouth. How's that, Mei Niang, what do you think?"

Wu Meiniang thought for a while and said, "I think it's good, Taiping, do you think your father has passed the test?" Han'er, what do you think the fable means?"

Princess Taiping smiled: "The queen mother said yes, it must be good, Brother Han, understand?"

Xiao Han hurriedly shook his head and said, "I'm a layman for this kind of thing, haha, Wan'er, I'll explain it to your father-in-law, okay?" After speaking, he toasted Shangguan Wan'er.

Shangguan Wan'er said: "This is the emperor's warning to Brother Han again, don't practice too much, the meaning of this story is: Cultivators eat and drink appropriately, and have less desire to be content, which is good for both the body and practice; However, it is wrong to overkill the propaganda of the outside world, to simply chant and not eat, thinking that in this way you can attain the Tao, so there are fasting days for seven or fifteen days, and as a result, the body is affected and you die of starvation, but it is not beneficial to the cultivation at all. It's the same ridiculous and stupid thing to do as a stupid man eating salt!"

"Oh, haha, Your Majesty, Han'er respects you!" Xiao Han hurriedly toasted Gaozong Li Zhi.

Gaozong Li Zhi said happily: "Han'er, your kendo cultivation is already so high, there is no need to practice so hard every day, you still have to pay attention to rest, don't push yourself too hard, too much!"

"Yes, Emperor Xie's teachings!" Xiao Han nodded hurriedly: it turned out that he cared about himself very much, and recently, he had become less and less hateful towards him, but he couldn't talk about liking it, at this time, he felt a little moved!

"Three!" Shangguan Wan'er counted immediately.

"Four!" Xiao Han smiled, thought for a while, and said, "It's my turn, what am I talking about?" Yes, let's talk about me: once I roasted sweet potatoes and put them in the furnace, Master asked me to practice, and I wanted to steal sweet potatoes, so I secretly smeared a layer of chili peppers on the sweet potatoes to fix him;

Although he was laughing, his eyes were wet: he thought of the town of Three Rivers, the snow, the house, the stove, and, inside, the sweet potato!

Princess Taiping hurriedly took out her hand, wiped away his tears for him, and kissed him again before saying, "Brother Han, it's all over, isn't it? Now, isn't it good?"

Xiao Han woke up again, quickly smiled, and said, "Yes, it's better to be peaceful, haha!"

The hearts of the two collided violently again, and the sparks came out again, and the two pairs of eyes were tightly connected!
