The First Happy King of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 597 Fighting in the ring?
Early the next morning, while Li Muyun was sleeping, a cold little hand reached into his quilt.

"Damn it, who is it! You really want to die, don't you?" Li Muyun's vigilance dropped to a record low due to his comfortable life, and he didn't even know he was approached by the bed, and jumped up violently by that little hand, He didn't even look at who was coming, so he cursed angrily.

As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Chang Le's tense pretty face and the little girl's dissatisfied coquettishness: "Li Muyun, who are you scolding!"

Hearing the little girl's coquettish anger, Li Muyun couldn't get angry no matter how big he was, not out of pity, but because the girl's backstage was too hard, he couldn't afford to offend her.

So His Royal Highness Xiaoyao Wang sat back on the couch depressedly, rubbed his face depressedly and said: "I said, little aunt, you, what are you doing, you don't let people sleep in the early morning .”

Chang Le looked at Li Muyun with contempt: "It's still early? The sun is almost setting outside."

"Then just go back to sleep." Li Muyun yawned big, as if he was going to lie down and sleep again.

Chang Le was swollen by Li Muyun's angry cheeks, and suddenly snatched the pillow on the bed, and slammed him on the head a few times: "You are a pig, you know how to sleep when you sleep!"

At this moment, Li Muyun was completely distracted, and surrendered with his head in his arms: "Okay, okay, you win!"

Chang Le hit him again with the pillow a few more times, then calmed down, threw the pillow away and said, "Hurry up, my eldest brother and I are waiting for you outside, and prepare some gifts, and the emperor and the empress will set up a house at night." Yan, call you over."

"Understood!" Li Muyun agreed in a muffled voice while putting on clothes on his body and said: "But I think gifts and so on are fine, the empress is not short of anything, and the emperor is not short of my things, let alone the family banquet. This kind of thing, it doesn’t matter if the person arrives or the thing arrives.”

Chang Le only felt that if he continued to chat with this guy, he would be mad at him, so he spit on him and turned around and left: "Bah, if you're brave enough, you can go empty-handed!"

Li Muyun didn't think he was timid, he just couldn't understand why Li Er wanted to hold a family banquet, and the family banquet had something to do with him, the unbeatable King Xiaoyao, it couldn't be...

Halfway through thinking about it, Li Muyun shuddered, and suddenly thought of a question, could it be that Li Er wanted to recruit a son-in-law?Otherwise, what qualifications does the foster son I picked up halfway have to be on the emperor's table!
It's bad, I'm afraid there will be a big fuss now, if Li Shimin asks himself to marry Changle on the table, should he agree?I'm sorry for that girl Wanqing if I agree, but if I don't agree, the consequences will be unpredictable.

Even if he retreated [-] steps, Li Shimin was so enlightened that he could let Changle be his concubine, but that little girl was obviously underage, so he couldn't do it!

After changing clothes and washing, Li Muyun came to the front hall, but saw Li Chengqian sitting upright in the hall, Chang Le sitting beside him, brother and sister each holding a bowl of tea and drinking, the housekeeper Lao Xia was standing beside him serve.

"Chengqian, why are you free today?" Li Muyun waved his hands to signal to the uncomfortable Lao Xia what to do, and then he sat in the chair and asked about Li Chengqian's purpose.

"Uncle Wang, my nephew came here today to thank you for saving my mother and queen a few days ago, Cheng Qian..."

Before Li Chengqian could finish speaking, Li Muyun jumped up: "Stop, stop, talk well!"

Chang Le's grinning voice came: "Hee hee, brother, I told you that he would turn his back on you if you were so formal. How about it? Are you right?"

"You're the one who talks a lot." Li Chengqian glared at his sister, then turned to Li Muyun and said, "Muyun, if it's other things, it's fine, but this life-saving grace is no joke, and besides, you saved my mother. If you don't even say thank you, you won't be ridiculed, and even if you don't care about your personal relationship, Yu Gong, you saved the mother of a country, so why can't you be a thank you."

Li Chengqian's words on the line made Li Muyun stunned for a while, then suddenly turned his eyes and sat back in the chair and said: "Then you have to say this, okay, I'm ready, come on!"

Unexpectedly, he was ready, but Li Chengqian changed his tone and said with a smile: "Fuck off, the king has already thanked you just now, you can't make progress."

"Hey!" Li Muyun sighed: "So you just said thank you, I thought you could bring something out as a thank you gift."

"Didn't the thank you gift be given long ago? I really don't know!" Li Chengqian rolled his eyes and sat back to the position just now, took a sip of tea and said: "Hurry up, tell your people to get some food, Ben Gong came out of the palace in the morning and hasn’t eaten yet.”

The taste of the food in the palace is good, but there are many rules for eating. No matter how delicious the food is, you can’t eat more. You can’t eat it after three mouthfuls. But what is the specific reason, no one can say clearly, anyway, the rules have been set like this since ancient times.

But from Li Muyun's point of view, this matter was full of food, and the main purpose was to show his noble status, which was different from ordinary people.

……

Soft fried tenderloin, scallion fried pork, Sixi meatballs, Dongpo elbow, and some pickled side dishes mixed with sesame oil. Li Muyun was dumbfounded watching a prince and a princess shake off their cheeks and make more than half of them. The white rice was also made by them. He ate five bowls abruptly.

"Are you two being abused in the palace?" Looking at the two golden branches and jade leaves that were almost full, Li Muyun asked while sucking his teeth.

Li Chengqian burped, and sat up straight with difficulty: "Stop talking, I asked your cook to make a few more copies of that Dongpo elbow and send it to the palace."

Chang Le nestled in the chair with her little belly in her arms and kept humming. After hearing Li Chengqian's words, she said by the way: "I like that pickle." The two brothers and sisters usually need to maintain their image. This time, when he arrived at Li Muyun's house without outsiders, his true colors were immediately revealed.

Li Muyun didn't say much, and nodded with a smirk after listening to it: "Okay, it's all right, but my cook is best at sweet and sour carp, do you want to get some back and try?"

"If you dare to give it to me, I will eat it!" Chang Le did not show any weakness.

Li Muyun clapped his palms and said with a smile: "Okay, then the gift for tonight will be settled."

Listening to the conversation between the two, Li Chengqian sat up straight and said, "Li Muyun, don't you mean the truth? Do you dare to eat carp?"

"Is there anything you dare not eat carp, if you have the guts, go back and ask your grandpa to see what his favorite fish is." Li Muyun raised his eyebrows and said.

As soon as these words came out, Li Chengqian brother and sister were speechless, blinking their eyes and not knowing how to answer.

You know, when he was in Shuozhou, Li Muyun often made carp for Li Yuan to eat. Except for the old man who was not used to it the first time, he ate it more happily than anyone else.

……

After eating breakfast and eating away at Li Muyun's house, the group of three left the manor and headed for Chang'an City.

The main purpose of Li Chengqian and Changle to find someone this time was to thank Empress Changsun, and to invite him to a banquet in the palace, but it was rare for the brother and sister to leave the palace, so they ran out early.

Li Muyun originally planned to continue to go to the mountains to chat with Sun Simiao, but because of the presence of the brothers and sisters, Lishan obviously couldn't make it, so he could only send Lao Xia to help the old Taoist move, and he sacrificed his life to accompany the gentleman and Li Chengqian brothers and sisters Go wandering in Chang'an city.

It was almost noon, and because it was a holiday, the city of Chang'an was much busier than usual, with cars and horses flying like a dragon, the flow of people was like weaving, and laughter was everywhere.

Changle fully exposed the character of the little girl. She looked here and there along the way. From time to time, she would buy some gadgets or hairpins for her head, or wave drums that shook in her hands. All in all, she was happy. Incredible.

It's just that Li Muyun and Li Chengqian suffered a lot on this journey, because no matter what Changle bought, they would end up in their hands, and then went on to buy other things.

In the end, Li Muyun was so tired that he couldn't stand it any longer, so he hired a carriage on the road and loaded all the odds and ends into the carriage. Only then did Er Li get rid of the fate of a mobile warehouse.

It was also because of this that Li Muyun had the time to pay attention to the pedestrians around him, and then under his dumbfounded gaze, he watched Li Chengqian and Wei Zheng pass by, neither of them paying attention to the other.

What's the situation?These two have a feud?Li Muyun didn't understand what was going on for a while, so he stepped forward and asked: "I said, didn't you see that old Wei walked by just now?"

"I see!" Li Chengqian replied confidently.

"You have a grudge against him?" Li Muyun asked again.

Li Chengqian was stunned: "What enmity do I have with him?"

"Then why didn't you talk? Didn't you say hello?" Li Muyun became more curious.

At this time, Chang Le ran back from the front, heard the conversation between the two, and interjected with a smile: "Master Wei is like this, if he comes out without glasses, he will be 'unrecognized by six relatives', and my brother should be afraid of trouble, so Just pretended not to see it."

"Six relatives don't recognize, yes, that's a good description!" Li Chengqian clapped his hands together, and finally said to Li Muyun: "In fact, many adults in the court are like this. If you don't take the initiative to greet them when you walk on the street, they will never see you."

Hearing what the two brothers and sisters said, Li Muyun also understood the key point. Ganqing old Wei is very short-sighted. It's good that he is an acquaintance when he is in the palace. I opened my eyes and went blind.

However, there seems to be something wrong with this matter. It seems that Old Wei had a pair of glasses at the beginning, how could he become blind again?With doubts, Li Muyun asked this question.

Li Chengqian and Changle also felt a little strange after hearing this, but Lao Wei had already left without a shadow at this time, even if he wanted to ask, he couldn't find anyone, so the three could only regretfully put aside the curiosity in their hearts and move on.

But as the saying goes, it’s better to be in time than to be in time. After shopping for a while, the three of them came to the optical shop belonging to Changle. When they were about to go in and take a rest, they found that "Six Relatives Don't Recognize" was picking out glasses with an old servant.

The curious Li Muyun didn't let go of the opportunity, walked to Old Wei's side in a few steps, and asked, "Master Wei, are you buying glasses?"

Hearing the voice, Old Wei turned his head and stared at Li Muyun for a while, before he realized: "It turned out that it was King Xiaoyao who was in front of him, and I'm being rude."

This old Wei was used to not wearing glasses before, and he usually pays attention to how to recognize people. After wearing glasses for a while, the old habits of the past are completely gone, and he can't see anything without the glasses.

Li Muyun knew that people who wear glasses basically have such a habit, so he was not surprised, he waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay! Mr. Wei chooses glasses first, picks glasses first."

Not thinking about it, Old Wei sighed and said: "Oh, picking glasses is the next best thing for an official, but I don't know if the prince has time?"

"Time? Yes!" Li Muyun was alone, with nothing else but time.

Old Wei paused for a moment, as if he felt it was a bit difficult to say, before he said after a while: "Then..., I have something to ask, I wonder if the lord can help?"

Things that can make Wei Zheng so difficult are obviously not simple, but what people like Li Muyun like most is challenges, and he immediately said: "Master Wei, if you have something to do, just say it, as long as Li can do it."

Seeing that he agreed, Wei Zheng said slowly: "Actually, I found this matter myself. Originally, I came out this time to find some lost books in the market, but I didn't want to encounter them halfway. Seeing someone set up a ring to challenge the world's literati, this old man is eager for skills..."

Speaking of which, Lao Wei didn't talk about it, Li Muyun probably guessed what happened next, probably because Lao Wei lost in the "fighting arena", and lost the glasses to someone else.

Thinking of this, Li Muyun already knew what the old Wei was begging for himself. It is estimated that this old guy lost the 'fight' and wanted to let him find a place.

God is pitiful, Li Muyun is very clear about how much ink he has in his belly. People like Old Wei have lost in the 'fight', and it is probably for nothing if they go by themselves.

You must know that people like Old Wei learned it from the ground up, while Li Muyun's reputation was learned from memorizing Tang poetry and Song Ci. These are completely two things.

"Lord Wei, don't worry, I have agreed to this matter on behalf of King Xiaoyao." Just when Li Muyun was struggling, the voice of that ghostly girl from Changle sounded behind him, and at the end I heard her vehemently: "With Muyun here, Guarantee that the guy who challenges knows what is beyond others, and there is a sky beyond the sky!"

Wei Zheng didn't expect that there was someone behind Li Muyun, he was taken aback when he heard Chang Le's voice, and then his face blushed, he guessed that if there was a crack in the ground, this little old man could get in.

In the end, it was Li Muyun who was "kind-hearted", turned around and gave Changle a hand, and dragged her out of the shop, then joined Li Chengqian, who had been hiding outside, and slipped away, leaving Lao Wei a step down.

　I have the audacity to recommend a book: "The Great Tang: I'm Really Not a Wit", you can read it if you are in a shortage of books!
