Great Tang princess

Chapter 591 The Wronged Pei Huaiyi

Hearing the report, Wu Zetian frowned and planned to let him go back.

But when I think about it carefully, I haven't seen you for a long time. If it's too obvious, it doesn't seem very good. Why don't you just call me to have a chat, which can be regarded as a change of mood.

After playing chess all afternoon, I also felt a little bored.

So he waved his hand lightly: "Call him in, anyway, I lost this game of chess."

Zhang Chengxin agreed to go out and call for someone, Shangguan Wan'er said while clearing the chessboard: "The sage is just at a disadvantage for a while, the outcome is not decided..."

"Although you and Chen'er have been together for a long time, the skill of pretending to be stupid and coaxing people is more than a little bit worse." Wu Zetian grinned lightly, "Do you really think I don't know how good your chess skills are?"

Seeing her confident expression, Shangguan Wan'er hastily saluted: "It turns out that she has been seen through, Your Majesty is wise!"

Wu Zetian didn't say anything because of this, but shook his head slightly, too lazy to teach.

Li Yuechen had once told Shangguan Wan'er to take care of her mother when she was not around. Coupled with the relationship between the two, Wu Zetian did not treat her as a slave on weekdays.

Not to mention all kinds of rewards every now and then, the various treatments in other aspects are almost not too bad compared to the two princesses Xuancheng and Yiyang, and they are almost treated as half daughters.

Although Shangguan Wan'er was aware of this, she was very measured. She never slapped her face in front of the emperor, and she did every job well with her heart.

This sensible and obedient style also made Wu Zetian appreciate her even more.

After a while, Pei Huaiyi entered the hall, and then quickly saluted.

While he was saluting, Wu Zetian turned his head and took a look, a trace of disgust flashed across his expression.

The main reason is that Pei Huaiyi has changed too much now. Although he didn't like this pet dog at first, at least he looks pleasing to the eye, and looking at it more can make him feel better.

But now Pei Huaiyi has lost his only attractiveness and has become a big fat man. His handsome face has also changed to be no different from that of a cook, which makes Wu Zetian completely disgusted.

"Excuse me, why did you come to the palace today?" Wu Zetian asked casually while holding a teacup.

Pei Huaiyi gritted his teeth, made an aggrieved look, and said in a trembling voice: "I haven't seen the saint recently, my subordinates are worried about the saint's dragon body, and I don't think about tea or food all day long..."

Shangguan Wan'er on the side almost couldn't help laughing out at these pretentious words, but immediately lowered her head and gritted her teeth hard to prevent herself from laughing out loud.

Wu Zetian drooped his eyelids, and after listening to his thoughts, he waved his hands: "In that case, I've seen it before, so let's go back, I'm in a bad mood today..."

"The sage doesn't know something. This subordinate is here today just to help the sage solve his problems!" Pei Huaiyi didn't want to leave, and hurriedly looked for an excuse to let him stay.

"You don't know a single word, how can you solve my problems?" Wu Zetian raised his eyebrows, as if he heard a joke, but it didn't seem so funny.

Pei Huaiyi nodded again and again: "My subordinates came in to study dance music in the temple. I think it can help the saint to solve his problems."

Dance can be regarded as one of the most representative arts of this era, and it was even much higher than poetry and poetry in this period.

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, every emperor has basically had a high musical quality, and has a high attainment in singing and dancing.

Including Wu Zetian, she also received dance education since she was a child. When she came to the throne, she even arranged a large-scale song and dance "Shen Gong Da Yue" that required more than [-] people to perform.

Hearing that he can dance, he immediately became interested, nodded and said: "Then let's have a look."

The emperor agreed, and Pei Huaiyi gave a sigh of relief, quickly agreed, and got up to prepare.

……

On the other side, under the blue sky and white clouds, the huge Baidizi was floating on the sea.

Li Yuechen came out today not for training, but to test whether the sextant made by the engineering institute can be used... Of course, by the way, he doesn't mind catching two fish and going back for an extra meal at night.

In fact, I just want to eat barbecue, but the dinner in the army is not suitable for them to eat this, so Li Yuechen will cook a small stove for himself occasionally.

After all, my mother is a majestic princess of a country, a marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, who has fought for many years... Occasionally enjoy it, and make a small stove, isn't it too much?

Today's Li Yuechen is still wearing a large red round-neck gown. The difference from usual is that there is no ponytail today, and the black hair is completely loose.

Because I just washed my hair, I plan to blow dry my hair with the sea breeze after I put it on.

Li Yuechen, with disheveled hair, lacked his usual heroic aura, and looked full of obsequiousness. Compared with the name of the god of war, he looked more like a princess in the public impression at this time.

She has a stunning face, and every frown and smile exudes the beauty that belongs only to women.

The tall figure of 1.7 meters makes her full of the feeling of a mature big sister. If a pair of glasses are put on the bridge of her nose, she should be able to bring some intellectual beauty.

Because he usually exercises well and his body fat rate is controlled at a very healthy level, so Li Yuechen's face is not the style of a little lolita, but the angular style of a royal sister.

If it is placed in the future, with her temperament, many people will definitely say that she is the reincarnation of a vixen.

Li Yuechen's beauty is not the kind of temptation that leaks out, but a kind of beauty that is easy to arouse challenges, and is extremely powerful and confident at first glance.

If you want to say the only special thing in it, that is the occasional flash of sharpness in those bright black eyes.

People who don't know will probably think that it is a seductive lightning, but only those who know how to see it, it can only appear when they have charged on the battlefield and killed the same kind of people with their own hands. .

The sea breeze blew across the deck, and the bright red round-neck robe swayed wildly. The originally loose clothes were pressed against her body by the wind, showing her frontal figure.

But she didn't have any scruples about these things at all, she just held the sextant in her hand and put it in front of her eyes, looking seriously into the distance.

Wang Wuqiong on the side was full of doubts, not knowing how to use the small fan-like thing in His Highness's hand.

When I got on the boat, I supported her and said that it was used to measure my specific position, but after explaining for a long time, I didn't understand what the measurement method was.

Seeing her using a seemingly slender and tender little finger to move the scale below, Wang Wuqiong turned her head to look at the distant scenery helplessly, as if thinking about whether the scene His Highness saw was different from her own.

After testing for a while, Li Yuechen nodded, thinking that there should be no problem, and next time he might consider letting the crew members who are studying come to try it.

So she handed the sextant to Wang Wuqiong at the side, and waved her hand at the same time: "Bring me that bow!"

Li Yuechen is not interested in fishing. If he wants to eat fish, he either jumps into the sea to catch it, or shoots it with a bow.

In fact, the penetrating power of arrows in the water is stronger than that of bullets, especially her bow is extremely powerful, and the penetrating power is naturally even more terrifying.

As long as the fish is within ten meters of the sea level, there is no problem in penetrating with an arrow.

Wang Wuqiong also knew what she meant. Compared to watching her test the sextant, watching His Highness shoot arrows is more enjoyable.

Compared with things like airships or telegraphs, as a warrior, Wang Wuqiong still appreciates His Highness's own martial arts or things like grenades and artillery.

Li Yuechen picked up his bow and began to walk up and down the deck looking for targets.

Fish in this era have not yet fully appreciated the power of humans, and there is no label in their genes that is far away from humans, so there are still many fish gathering around the boat.

After spotting the target, Li Yuechen opened the bow and set the arrow, only to hear a "咻——" and accompanied by the sharp sound of piercing through the air, the arrow had already pierced the sea surface and got into the water.

After a while, you can see a touch of red gradually smudged from the water surface and began to gradually dissipate.

Wang Wuqiong hurriedly gently pulled the thin line behind the arrow, and slowly pulled the pierced fish out of the sea and brought it to the deck.

At the same time, he did not forget to praise: "His Royal Highness is unparalleled in archery!"

"Okay, take it off quickly, this one is too small, not enough to eat!"

Li Yuechen had already gotten used to being flattered by the people around him, and immediately waved her hand to let her work hard.

In fact, this picture is quite weird now. A tall figure with disheveled red hair is shooting into the sea with a bow and arrow that does not conform to the times...

All in all, the end result was pretty good.

In the evening, Li Yuechen sat in his own small yard, personally put the fish threaded with iron skewers on the rack and started to roast, which can be regarded as a little fun in this boring age.

Seeing her serious face, Wang Wuqiong couldn't help but look left and right, His Highness's appearance should not be seen by others, otherwise many people's jaws would be shocked.

……

Looking at the moon hanging high outside the window, Wu Zetian put down his teacup and waved to Pei Huaiyi in front of him: "Okay, that's it for today, let's go back."

To be honest, Pei Huaiyi's dancing is very average, and Wu Zetian can be said to be a professional dancer back then. In her opinion, compared to the dancing posture of such a fat meat ball, I'm afraid it's still the trembling fat body. Meat is more interesting.

Today I let him dance in Jixian Temple, and invited him to dinner. I think it's almost the same, so I can let him go back.

"Yes!"

Pei Huaiyi first agreed, and then couldn't help asking: "Dare to ask the saint, I wonder if my subordinates can come again tomorrow..."

Wu Zetian raised his eyebrows: "To be honest, I don't want to see you again."

With such a simple sentence, he couldn't help but freeze in place, and raised his head in a daze, as if he felt that he had heard it wrong.

"When I let you stay in the palace, why do you think it was? Are you capable of doing things? Or are you smart?" Wu Zetian asked back, and then continued without waiting for him to answer, "It's just a good-looking face! But these days Have you ever looked in the mirror? Do you know what version you look like at this time?"

Every time Wu Zetian said a word, Pei Huaiyi's heart felt cold. After all, his hunch was right, and the emperor was tired of him after all.

Sure enough, it was because Zhang Changzong was better-looking than himself and knew the rhythm, so the emperor liked the new and disliked the old.

This made Pei Huaiyi feel wronged. I have worked hard for the emperor in the past few years, but is this the result I got in the end?Just sent yourself away like this?

After finishing speaking, Wu Zetian waved his hand: "Okay, don't keep getting in the way here, let's go back."

Pei Huaiyi saluted blankly, agreed, got up numbly and left.

Walking out from Jixian Temple, looking at Ziwei Palace under the night sky, I just feel that the weather has suddenly become much colder.

He used to go in and out of here by himself, and was greeted by countless eunuchs and maids. Wherever he went, he was greeted by countless dignitaries, but now that he was about to leave, he didn't even have a single person to send him off.

The huge gap made him feel endlessly wronged, and he couldn't help but want to cry, but rather than crying, he knew that he should think about what he should do in the future.

He walked to the outer court with scattered steps, and was immediately covered by the huge shadow of the Vientiane Shrine.

The tall buildings blocked the moonlight, making the sight much dim.

He raised his head and looked at the majestic building he was responsible for building, and the grievance in his heart magnified again.

"I have paid so much for you, but you are so unfeeling, so don't blame me..." He gritted his teeth and whispered to himself, "I was responsible for building this palace. destroy it!"

……

"what--"

The eunuch who was patrolling at night yawned, shook the torch in his hand twice in boredom, and planned to go back to rest for a while.

At this moment, I suddenly saw a figure approaching. Looking carefully, it was indeed Pei Huaiyi who had just left.

The little eunuch hurriedly saluted: "Why is General Pei back?"

Pei Huaiyi has a vacant position as a general. Although he has little military power, at least this title was bestowed by the emperor himself.

"Hey!" Pei Huaiyi, who usually has his eyes high above his head, had a friendly smile on his face at this time: "The palace is too big, and it is night at this time, I can't see the ground clearly, and I am afraid of falling, so I borrowed a torch." .”

This is not a big deal at all, the little eunuch quickly passed the torch in his hand.

For the eunuchs in the harem, they won’t get lost if they walk with their eyes closed, and they will soon reach the resting place, so if you give him the torch, it’s not a valuable thing, and it can be a favor, Why not do it?

Pei Huaiyi took the torch, and after speaking politely to the little eunuch, he turned and left, but the moment he turned around, his face was already gloomy.

Holding a torch, he came to the Outer Court, and looked up at the tall Vientiane Shrine. Even in the dark, the huge outline was still clearly visible. Just looking up, he could feel a pressure from the supreme imperial power.

This kind of pressure made him tremble a little, and he felt somewhat regretful.

But he quickly gritted his teeth, raised his legs and walked up the wide, smooth and white steps.

While walking up the steps, the steps became firm again.

Because he was walking in the middle of the steps, from the moment he stepped here, there was no turning back!
