Rebirth of the Tang Dynasty's strongest consort

Chapter 202 Bestowing the Pearl

Li Lizhi went out of the hall in an instant, causing an uproar in the Ten Thousand Flowers Hall.

All the princes and princesses were amazed. Even Li Shimin, who was well versed in power and strategy, and Empress Changsun, who was in charge of the harem, looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.

"Turn to the Zhu Pavilion, the low-lying household, and sleepless nights. There should be no hatred. What is the long-term relationship? People have joys and sorrows, and the moon is cloudy and sunny. "

After murmuring out of Xiaque, Li Shimin stroked his beard and frowned, and asked, "Lizhi, did you make this poem yourself?"

As he said that, Li Shimin's eyes were full of suspicion. In the early Tang Dynasty, few people knew about Ci Pai, and nouns like "Shui Tiao Ge Tou·When will the moon be there" were even rarer to write.

Li Shimin is well aware of the eldest daughter's talent, and has already been quite good at writing poems and painting, but it is almost impossible to answer the question of "He Zudao" in an instant, according to Princess Zhang Le's knowledge.

Seeing Li Shimin's question, Li Lizhi nodded in thought, her almond eyes turned several times, and she made up her mind.

Looking at Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, Li Lizhi bit her red lips lightly, and said shyly, "To Emperor Father and Empress Mother, this poem is... It is a token of love from my dear brother to my daughter."

As soon as this remark came out, the Ten Thousand Flowers Hall was in chaos, and all the princes praised "He Zudao"'s talent, and they probably wanted to make friends in their hearts.

Looking at the princesses again, looking at Li Lizhi who was wearing an apricot yellow embroidered dress, her eyes were full of envy, among which Xiangcheng Yu was the most obvious.

Knowing the origin of Xia Que, Li Shimin felt a tinge of anger in his heart, and thought to himself, "Why don't you tell me, little silver thief! The widow is still wondering why Li Zhi is so attracted to you, so you have such means! Want to be If you are fined three boards, it is still less! You should be fined six...nine...twelve boards!"

Although sitting at the same table, Empress Changsun's state of mind is completely different from Li Shimin's. Looking at the shy eldest daughter, Empress Changsun nodded with a smile and murmured in her heart, "Fang Jun's literary talent is extremely high. The lovesickness is vividly expressed, thinking about it, she is more worthy of Li Zhi and Shu Er than Chang Sun Chong."

In the banquet on the left side of the Wanhua Hall, Li Chengqian, Li Tai, Li Zhi and other princes have their own schemes, but those who have the intention of becoming a great treasure in the future have plans to get acquainted and win over "He Zudao" behind their backs.

Among the chairmen on the right, several princesses including Jinyang, Yuzhang, and Lanling looked at Li Lizhi with envy or admiration, but the eyes of Xiangcheng, who was dressed in red, were uncertain. This makes love's desire to control even stronger.

"Fang Lang, a heartless enemy. You actually wrote such an excellent love poem for Changle. Have you ever seen you write half a word for my slave's family?"

Gently breaking his fingers, after Xiangcheng murmured bitterly, he looked at the few poems on the white silk, and thought, "I want to come to the township examination and then the palace examination. If you don't force Fang Lang to submit as soon as possible, it will be too late to wait for the day when he becomes the number one scholar." gone."

After thinking about it for a while, Xiangcheng made up his mind, and couldn't help thinking about the charming and tender feeling he met with Fang Yiai in the attic of Chang'an Inn not long after.

Li Lizhi stood in the center of the Ten Thousand Flowers Hall. Seeing Li Shimin's gloomy face, her heart trembled, and she thought: "Could it be that the father is angry? It's all because I can't hold my breath. If I hurt my brother and get punished, what should I do!"

However, when she saw the smiling Empress Changsun, most of her worries were dispelled, "The Empress Mother has always been upright, so it shouldn't be a problem to have her deal with her."

Seeing a trace of sadness flashing across Li Lizhi's cheeks, Empress Changsun knew her daughter's concern, and said to Li Shimin in a harmonious voice: "Long live, He Zudao is indeed a great talent at that time. If you can win the first place in the imperial examination, you will be worthy of being in the imperial class." Beauty."

"What the queen said is not bad." After expressing his agreement with the words of the eldest grandson queen, Li Shimin frowned, stroked his beard and whispered: "However, this son has a lot of tricks in his heart. In the future, it is better not to ask him to walk in the harem. It would be bad if you kidnapped my other daughters."

As soon as this remark came out, Empress Changsun felt very funny, she covered her face with a chuckle, and muttered behind her back, "That brat Fang Jun has already abducted the two most beautiful princesses, how can other princesses compare to Lizhi and Shu'er? But Mingda..."

Thinking about it, Empress Changsun turned her gaze to Princess Jinyang in the banquet on the right, seeing her daughter-in-law innocent and lively, she couldn't help shaking her head and smiling wryly, "Mingda is only 11 years old this year, I don't want to be the same age as Fang Jun, so I'm not afraid... Avalokitesvara, what are you thinking about!"

Seeing Empress Changsun shaking her head and smiling bitterly, Li Shimin was quite surprised, and asked softly, "Empress, what are you thinking?"

His thoughts were disturbed by Li Shimin, Empress Changsun put on a normal expression, and said falteringly: "Yes, why don't you know that this son has a lot of tricks, I think he looks a little like Shu'er."

While speaking, Empress Changsun kept looking at Li Shimin. The reason why Gao Yang was mentioned was to test Li Shimin's reaction, and also to expose Fang Yiai's pseudonym in the future.

"Shu'er?" Li Shimin looked around, but he couldn't find Gao Yang, and seeing that Wang Youdao was not serving, he guessed his daughter's whereabouts in an instant, "Could it be that Shu'er went out of the palace to watch the Dragon Lantern Festival?"

Seeing that Li Shimin guessed Gao Yang's whereabouts, Empress Changsun did not hide it, "Yes, Shu'er said that she would take this opportunity to visit her father-in-law and mother-in-law in Fangfu. less."

"Going to see Xuanling and Mrs. Lu? Just that jar of vinegar? Oh my god, back then I drank a jar of vinegar in one breath in the Jinluan Hall, but it was really scary to think about it!"

With a wry smile, Li Shimin nodded slightly, "Shu'er's shougong is intact, and I think Xuanling's heart disease will naturally disappear after seeing her."

As he said that, Li Shimin looked at Xiangcheng at the banquet. He knew the ins and outs of the rumors of "Gaoyang's private communication with the defense machine" in his heart. on Xiao Rui.

"Xiao Rui is really disgusting, I think we should tell him to go to Yanmen Pass with Fang Jun!" Speaking of Fang Yiai, Li Shimin suddenly remembered the urgent document sent from Yanmen Pass a few days ago.

"Recently, spies from the Turkic Kingdom have been lingering outside the Yanmen Pass. Presumably, they are planning to attack me, Tang Dynasty! Fang Jun is a scumbag, how can he be able to go to the battlefield? Why don't you transfer him back?"

Thinking about it, Li Shimin couldn't help but compare the two son-in-laws who gave him a headache.

"He Zudao beheaded the Turkic bandit chieftain three times in a row, which is a bit of a deterrent to the Turkic army. Why don't you call him to go to Yanmen Pass to make some military exploits after he wins the gold medal? It will be justifiable to reward him with a third-rank official position and ask him to stay. Treat my eldest princess well in the capital..."

While muttering, Li Shimin only felt upset, and after secretly cursing "Why is there such a big gap between people", he opened his mouth to comfort the anxious Li Lizhi.

"Lizhi, the clothes are perfect. I think I have a bit of a connection with that little thief... He Zudao. I will send people to Qixia Palace for the Ye Mingzhu that came as a tribute from Bohai Kingdom a few days ago, and I will go there later." The Qin family sent one, and I thought it would be cheaper if I exchanged it for my favorite jewel!"

After Li Shimin finished speaking, everyone looked at each other with envy in their eyes.

Li Lizhi heard Li Shimin's implication, and was immediately overjoyed. She thought to herself, "Father's favorite jewel? It must not be the luminous pearl of the Bohai Kingdom. Could it be me..."

After understanding the deep meaning of Li Shimin's words, Li Lizhi thanked her with a smile, and then happily returned to the banquet, thinking about her brother He.

After a while of whispering and whispering, the Wanhua Hall returned to calm. Li Chengqian and others secretly made up their minds that it would be wrong to visit the Qin Mansion as soon as the township examination was over.

In this way, everyone had their own concerns in mind, and ended the dragon lantern reception in the palace amidst a lot of laughter and laughter.

Fang Yiai drank in Wufeng Tower and was very drunk. When Zhenguan Sankai, who had memorized poems, came to the private room, Fang Yiai was already drunk and passed out.

Seeing "He Zudao" so drunk, Du Ruhui and Zhenguan Sankai smiled bitterly, and then let Xie Zhongju and Qin Jingniang help Fang Yiai back to the Qin Mansion, and the four of them sat in the private room and wrote to Fang Yiai before The following verses can be discussed.

Xie and Qin, one on the left and the other on the right, walked on the streets of Chang'an with Fang Yiai on their backs, and the rate of turning their heads was almost [-]%.

"Hey, isn't this the top of the commoner list? How did you get drunk and muddy?"

"I smoked you, is He Bangshou drunk? This is clearly drunk!"

"Yes, brother, I advise you to be cautious in what you say, or if you are heard by all the sentient beings from the Imperial College, you will have to be hung up and beaten violently."

After trying their best to "drag" Fang Yiai back to the Qin Mansion, Xie Zhongju and Qin Jingniang threw her on the couch, looking at Fang Yiai who smelled of alcohol, their eyes were full of worry.

"He Lang drank so much water and wine today, it must be very uncomfortable to wake up in the middle of the night?"

"Hmph, what kind of a hero can you be if you can't drink. Fang Jun is doing it on his own!"

Having said that, the sorrow in Xie Zhongju's eyes is not less than Qin Jingniang's, but compared to Xie Zhongju, Qin Jingniang's eyes are much more pity.

When I was drunk, Fang Yiai dreamed of the eldest grandson and his son. After a few confrontations, the grandson Wuji's city mansions made this newborn calf quite afraid, but more of it was resentment.

As the saying goes, thinking day by day, dreaming at night, Fang Yiai dreamed of a commentary novel that he had read in his previous life, about Li Ke falling to his uncle Guo's death with Wufenglou.

"Hmm... Taibai Doujiu Poems Hundred Poems, Sleeping in a Restaurant in Chang'an City, Duan Wenchu, the uncle of the country fell to death, and the king of Tang was furious and demoted to Beifan."

It doesn't matter that Fang Yiai recited these four lines of the opening poem in her sleep, but it frightened Qin Jingniang who was beside her.

"Oh, what nonsense He Lang was talking in his sleep. He fell to the death of Uncle Guo... If Xie Zhongju played Ming Changsun Empress, wouldn't it cause many disasters for nothing!"

Hearing Fang Yiai's dream talk, Xie Zhongju frowned slightly, and said to himself: "I never thought that Fang Jun would have such great ambitions...how can he take his words seriously after drinking? Just pretend you never heard it!"

Seeing Xie Zhongju's gloomy expression, Qin Jingniang bit her red lips lightly, and murmured: "Guicha, He Lang got drunk tonight. I'll keep him..."

"Still... keep him overnight?"

After faltering and finishing what was on her mind, Qin Jingniang's face was full of shyness, and red clouds appeared on her cheeks, extending to her temples.
