Chapter 495 Three People Riding Together, Chang'e Meets in the Moon Palace (Please order in full)
Changan.

Fangshi system.

But there is no curfew today.

The Shifangli Alley near Zhuque Street is full of stalls of all kinds, including those selling moon lanterns, moon cakes made of pastry and sugar syrup, sweet-scented osmanthus wine that has been brewed for a long time, and some common snacks, such as candied haws. , Douhua, Hubing, Cheese Cherry, Wonton, Sophora Leaf Lengtao (Cold Noodles), Sushan, Preserved Fruit, etc. They are all different.

Bai Gui came to Chang'an with Yang Chan and Ganoderma lucidum.

The three of them walked into Lifang, and after a while, they took all kinds of food in their hands.

"What a beautiful moonlight."

Yang Chan scooped up a mouthful of Su Shan with a wooden spoon, and was eating, when she saw the colorful lanterns hanging on the terraces of several families, she couldn't help but exclaimed.

Sushan, ice cream in the Tang Dynasty, the bottom layer is ice, and the top is covered with cream and ghee.Shaped like a mountain.The crisp mountain in Yang Chan's hand is called Guifeihong, and the top is dyed a layer of red with cherries.In addition, there are different Sushan Mountains such as Meidaiqing and Yunlijian.

Bai Gui looked up.

Inside the walls of the square, bamboo poles are erected on the tile eaves and terraces of each house, and lanterns are hung on the bamboo poles. These lanterns are shaped like birds and animals, fish and insects, and fruit rows. The mounted paper on the back is written with some auspicious words of "celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival and beautiful beauty".

The candlelight is flickering like stars, which is really beautiful.

"It turned out to be the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Bai Gui smiled and said: "If you want to see the night view of Chang'an Tree Mid-Autumn Festival, it's best to see it in the imperial palace. The Phoenix Tower in the imperial palace is the tallest building in Chang'an City. Only there can you have a panoramic view. Seeing this The beauty of the lanterns of thousands of families."

This custom of Zhang Yuedeng is called Vertical Mid-Autumn Festival or Tree Mid-Autumn Festival.

The three of them came to the gate of the palace.

Although the curfew is not prohibited in Chang'an at this time, and the emperor and all people enjoy the Mid-Autumn Festival together, the palace guards in Chang'an are the strictest at this time.

"I've met Bai Shilang."

After Bai Gui took out his tooth card and seal ribbon, the generals guarding the Vermilion Bird Gate saluted immediately.

The servant is already a high-ranking official on the second level.

"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. I heard that His Majesty held a banquet in the Linde Hall to entertain the ministers and practice for Master Xuanzang. Therefore, I also want to go to the Linde Hall to attend the grand event."

"Please General Zheng to report to His Majesty."

Bai Gui cupped his hands and said.

He didn't know whether Li Shimin hosted a banquet or not.However, according to the usual practice in previous years, every festive season, the emperor would have a big banquet for his ministers in order to enhance the relationship between the emperor and his ministers.The Linde Hall is also a hall specially used for banquets in the Chang'an Palace.Nine times out of ten you can't go wrong.

"Please... Bai Shilang wait a moment."

When General Zheng heard this, he cast a sidelong glance at Yang Chan and Ling Zhi, and then at Bai Gui's leisurely attire, probably guessing something in his heart.

Talented and beautiful, no one would believe her if she said she had no personal affair.

On a beautiful day in the autumn moon, under the shadow of a lonely lamp, a man, a woman and a servant, he has seen this combination a lot in Chang'an.But he never expected that, in order to show off, Bai Gui went to the palace and His Majesty to show off.

But..., after all, Bai Gui is a fourth-rank minister of the military department, much higher rank than him, the general guarding the Suzaku Gate. He is just a city gate man, a sixth-rank official.

It is not impossible for Bai Gui to come to the banquet by himself, but most of the officials who come to the banquet wear court uniforms. Even if Bai Gui, the servant of the military department, does not wear court uniforms, at least he has official uniforms or official uniforms...

Although there were all kinds of doubts and dissatisfaction in his heart, he did not dare to slacken his defense at the Suzaku Gate, nor did he dare to lose his temper with Bai Gui. It is not a serious crime for Jian Fu to come here for such a central minister.

Small officials have to behave themselves.

He entered the palace to meet the emperor and reported the matter.

Bai Gui saw Suzaku Gate's defensive attitude and looked at himself, so he understood what it meant.

To act, step by step is true.

But he is not just a human courtier.It's fine to be cautious in front of the Jade Emperor, but you don't have to be too cautious in front of Li Shimin.

As long as you don't make a big mistake.

Don't say he doesn't care about such small mistakes, let alone Li Shimin.

After a while, the guards at the Vermilion Bird Gate came in a hurry, and there was still a trace of lack of confidence in his eyes, "Your Majesty heard that the Bai Servant was waiting outside the Vermilion Bird Gate, and he might miss the good time, so he specially ordered the Bai Servant to enter the palace and ride a horse to the Linde Hall."

He was always running.

In the palace, unless you are an old and important minister, you are not allowed to ride a horse privately.

And the old and important ministers are just giving shoulders.

A fourth-rank servant, according to the routine, would not receive such super treatment.

The guard brought a fine horse.

Seeing this, Bai Gui frowned slightly.

They are three people.

But it's hard to say that the defense of the Suzaku Gate has no eyesight.

Riding horses in the palace was originally a kindness from the emperor.It is a blessing to be able to give one person, and if you give one more horse or two horses, unless there is Li Shimin's imperial edict, the imperial guards are not allowed to give horses privately.Once you give it to a horse and make a slight trip, it will be a felony of decapitation.

And thinking about it, even if the guard at Zhuque Gate said that Bai Gui came with three people, and Li Shimin graciously allowed him to ride a horse in the palace, he would not give this favor to Yang Chan and the two daughters of Ganoderma lucidum.

There are too many favors, and this kind of favor...is commonplace.

The red horse raised its hooves.

A vigorous Hexi horse.

Bai Gui hesitated, it would be wrong for him to get on the horse and let the second daughter walk on the ground.

"Bai Xunjian, you take my concubine and Ganoderma lucidum to ride together, I don't mind..." San Shengmao Yang Chan said softly with her blushing face.

"Later, I will cast spells with Ganoderma lucidum, just attach the feathers to it."

She was afraid that Bai Gui would see through her thoughts, so she added a sentence.

What a good, understanding girl.

Bai Gui nodded.

But the next moment, he realized something was wrong.

The Three Holy Mothers, Yang Chan...could have fallen in love with him.This is intentional arson.How can a daughter's family do this without regard to fame?

Take a ride together, under Ma Zhen, there will always be a skin-to-skin relationship.

"I've always wanted to let the Holy Mother open my eyes and see the world, so that I won't fall in love with Liu Yanchang easily in the future. This can also be regarded as a repayment for the kindness of the Holy Mother for helping me this time."

"But I didn't expect it, I miscalculated."

Bai Gui sighed secretly.

Compared with him, Liu Yanchang is a late learner.An unknown literati on the [-]th line, and in Datang, although he may not be said to be top-notch, he can definitely be among the top-notch.

no way.

It's not easy for Bai Gui to refuse this matter.

When he was in Xiyue Temple, he opened his mouth, saying that he had a little reputation in front of Li Shimin, and he could go to the temple as a guest.You have to do what you say.

Furthermore... If Yang Chan felt dejected because of his refusal, he would be stealing a piece of cake instead of losing money, but would actually anger his boss, Zhenjun Erlang.

The three of them mounted their horses.

The horse's hooves were raised lightly, and it rushed into the alleyway of the palace in a moment.

Bai Gui sat at the front of the saddle, with Yang Chan hugging his tiger waist in the middle, and Ganoderma lucidum at the back.The three of them are all gods and first-class, and their bodies can be light or heavy, so even though the three of them are riding together, the Hexi Jianma under his crotch does not look tired at all.

When bumpy.

The bodies of the two girls are like weak willows, swaying in the wind.

The nephrite jade from his daughter's family is warm and fragrant, and Bai Gui feels deeply in his heart.

"Inspector Bai, you're riding too fast."

Yang Chan's little heart was pounding, her face was on fire, but there was a sweet feeling in her heart.So I want to immerse myself in this taste for a longer time.

"I slow down."

Bai Gui was taken aback for a moment, and slowed down his horse.

The delicate body clinging to her back felt a sense of loss.

"Too slow again."

Yang Chan whispered.

The tender body clings to it again.

Linde Hall is not far from Suzaku Gate.

Although the three of them were slightly delayed, they arrived at Linde Hall in less than a stick of incense.

In the hall, the guests are drunk.

They are all senior officials of the court and scholars of Wenda.

There was also a monk who was chanting scriptures silently, and there were vegetarian meals on the table. It was Monk Xuanzang.

"Bai Aiqing, I sent someone to your mansion yesterday to let you attend the banquet today. But I heard that Bai Aiqing retired due to illness, and at the moment of regret...unexpectedly, Bai Aiqing came to the palace by yourself."

Seeing Bai Gui coming, Li Shimin came out to greet him in person, without putting on airs, he said with a smile.

He and Bai Gui put their arms together, and when they moved away from Yang Chan, they said in a low voice: "I know that Aiqing and you are here with your female relatives, so I specially gave Aiqing a horse for you to ride in the palace." Ai Qing should know the beauty of this."

After all, he laughed heartily.

During this kind of festive season, the palace banquet will not spoil the scenery. Only the courtiers are invited, and the family members are also invited.It's just that the female relatives generally stay in the side hall of Linde Hall, and are entertained by Empress Changsun herself.

The two halls are not far apart, with only a bead curtain.

Bai Gui: "..."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

he said.

He and Yang Chan came to the palace.Talented and beautiful, I can't help others to think so.

Furthermore, Li Shimin is also kind.

"This noble lady... Could it be the Dongting Dragon Girl, who is really different from ordinary girls, with a fairy beauty and no beauty, and she is overwhelmed by the country." Li Shimin looked back and said again.

He once planned to promise Bai Gui his own princess, but Bai Gui declined because he already had a sweetheart.

The sweetheart mentioned at that time was Dongting Dragon Girl.

"No, it's not."

Bai Gui shook his head.

There's nothing to deceive about that.

"That is?"

Li Shimin was curious.

"She is..." Bai Gui originally wanted to hide a thing or two, but after thinking about it, there is nothing to hide, and it is no big deal if you say it. There is no need to hide Yang Chan's identity, "She is the sister of Zhenjun Erlang, The Madonna of Xishan Mountain was invited by me, so she came to visit the palace."

The guest is up to the host, and when he is a guest in the palace, he must not tell the truth.

"Zhenjun Erlang..."

Li Shimin experienced the Jinghe Dragon King incident, and he was no longer stunned by the gods. After taking a closer look, his expression changed a little, "Erlang Zhenjun's younger sister, isn't that the Jade Emperor's niece?"

Jade Emperor's niece...

Even if the Jade Emperor doesn't want to see his niece any more, the illustrious status of this person is absolutely extraordinary.

Li Shimin hurriedly summoned the accompanying eunuchs, whispered a few words, and said: "Tell the queen quickly, don't treat the female relatives brought by Bai Aiqing slowly."

He did not tell others the true identity of the Three Holy Mothers.

Bai Gui told him because he was the master, but if he told others about Yang Chan's true identity one by one, it would undoubtedly be rude and offend Bai Gui and Yang Chan.

Just now Yang Chan entered the Linde Hall, and was led to the side hall to have a banquet with the officials' wives.

Bai Gui and Li Shimin chatted a few more words.

Li Shimin returned to his seat, and Bai Gui also took his seat in front of the hall, which belonged to his servant.

Shortly after.

The banquet is over.

When Bai Gui came, it was too late.

"At this time, the moon is full, and the moon and stars are rare. Why don't you go to Fenglou to enjoy the moon and the lights of thousands of houses together."

Li Shimin suggested.

It is customary to enjoy the moon in Fenglou.

At the same time, compared to the restraint in the hall, in the wind tower, it is much more casual.

A group of courtiers came to Fenglou with their female relatives.

Fenglou is a dangerous building with a height of [-] feet, which is the tallest building in Chang'an.

Table by table display.

The meals on the table are not as rich as Linde Hall, just some pastries and drinks.

Bai Gui met Yang Chan and Ganoderma lucidum again, and sat on one side to watch the moon scene.

"The rites of the three generations: the son of heaven looks at the sun in spring, and the moon in the evening in autumn, so there is respect." ——Jia Yi's "New Book·Baofu".

The imperial palace is different from the folks. The folks at most appreciate the moon, but the emperor will hold ceremonies to welcome the cold and sacrifice the moon on this day.

"Bai Shilang is a bachelor of Hongwenguan. He can write Qing Ci and sacrifice to the moon."

Li Shimin was sitting in the front seat, and said slowly.

Qingci is a tribute to the offering ceremony, which is used to inform the heaven.

Although Bai Gui is the minister of the Ministry of War, he is also a bachelor of the Hongwen Museum, and has the obligation to write sacrificial texts on national ceremonies.Another point is that in Li Shimin's view, Bai Gui is now a Cao official, and the Qing Ci written by Bai Gui can reach the heavens and be known by the heavens.

The reason why Wei Zheng passed by today was that Li Shimin didn't like this courtier who was named after admonishment very much.What's more, Bai Gui also brought the Jade Emperor's niece. It was a good idea to let Bai Gui show his talent.

"The minister obeys the order."

Bai Gui led the decree.

Shaoqing, the eunuch withdrew the case and replaced it with another table case, on which the four treasures of the study were displayed.

The rest of the people continued to watch the moon, leaving time for Bai Gui to write Qing Ci.

"I didn't expect Bai Xunjian to be so valued by today's world."

"Speaking of which, I am familiar with Fairy Chang'e from the Moon Palace. When we meet gods, we don't need the trouble of mortals using green words. If you want to see the Moon God, the True Lord of Taiyin, just go and see..."

Seeing the eunuch leave, Yang Chan chirped.

In the words, there is no lack of admiration for Bai Gui.

Even if he is not a generation of literary giants, the person who can let the emperor personally order to write Qing Ci is definitely a scholar with outstanding Chinese skills.Yang Chan has always liked mortal poetry, seeing this scene, how can she not be extremely envious.

"Fairy Chang'e?"

When Bai Gui heard this name, he couldn't help but look up at the full moon.

From ancient times to the present, the beauty of mortals is none other than the four beauties.As for the beauty of gods and gods, Chang'e Fairy definitely occupies a place, and she is the number one beauty.

"The beauty of a young woman is definitely none other than Fairy Chang'e."

he secretly said.

Chang'e made many male gods fascinated by it.Zhu Gangli, who was demoted to the lower world, is one of his admirers.

"I don't know if I can startle the Moon Palace and lead me to have a banquet by writing this green poem."

Such an idea suddenly popped up in Bai Gui's mind.

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. For the Moon Palace, this day is also extremely important. It is the most prosperous time of the year for the Moon Palace.

He is a fairy god, and it is not impossible for him to startle the Moon Palace.

After thinking about it, Bai Gui started to use the brush, and Yang Chan polished the ink. His calligraphy is vigorous, majestic and majestic, astonishing, and penetrating.

He has long been used to writing Qing Ci, and in a short time, a Qing Ci was written.

But for ceremonies such as offering sacrifices to the moon, one green poem is not enough.

He wrote two more articles in a row, combining the three talents.

Qingci's literary talents are brilliant, and each chapter is different.

On Bai Gui's side, there were eunuchs watching, seeing that Bai Gui's writing was almost done, so he went up to report to Li Shimin.Immediately afterwards, the three green poems written by Bai Gui were taken away by Li Shimin.

All the officials circulated it, nodded silently, and praised Bai Gui's literary talent.

Chen Xuanzang on the other side, when he was sitting in meditation, couldn't help but look at Bai Gui with emotion.

Li Shimin first asked the scribes to transcribe three Qingci, and then said: "Bai Shilang has written the Qingci, come here, prepare a sacrifice, and I will personally officiate."

　I'm not feeling well today, I'm sorry, I wanted to ask for a vacation, but after thinking about it, I haven't asked for a vacation in the five months since the book was opened, so I ran out of bed and wrote a chapter of [-] words.I am too embarrassed to ask for a monthly ticket today.

　　I will add another [-] words tomorrow, challenge myself, sleep, good night.
