Chapter 36
Chapter 040

"Come on, I'll have a drink with you all. If you don't get drunk today, you won't come home." Li Longji was in a very happy mood, and drank one after another toast.

The sound of singing and dancing resounded again. Amidst the graceful dancing postures of dozens of dancers, Zhang Xuanxuan sat there, occasionally casting a clear look at Cui Ying.

At first, Cui Ying evaded and dodged a little, but in just a moment, the girl's expression became as calm and elegant as usual, and her eyes became very indifferent.

Drinking again and again, apart from Zhang Xuan, including the emperor Li Longji, they were actually a little bit drunk.Yang Yuhuan was half leaning on the brocade pier with drunken eyes, her smile seemed to be half-smile, and she was charming and seductive beyond words.

Mrs. Guo Guo's mood was a bit depressed and low, drinking one cup after another, wantonly.

And the young Pei Hui beside her has a wandering gaze, falling on Zhang Xuan from time to time.After a song, the dancing girl stepped back. Pei Hui seemed to hesitate for a long time, and suddenly got up and walked towards Li Longji. Without waiting for everyone's reaction, he bowed down and said softly, "Pei Hui wants to worship Mr. Zhang as his teacher, and ask the emperor to make the decision." .”

Li Longji looked at Pei Hui in surprise, and smiled slightly, "Pei Hui, you are studious and progressive, which is worthy of praise. It's just this matter of apprenticeship..."

Li Longji pondered, and glanced at Zhang Xuan intentionally or unintentionally.

Zhang Xuan understood the emperor's meaning in an instant, and immediately got up and smiled and declined, "Your Majesty, Zhang Xuan is young and has little talent and learning, so I dare not be a teacher... If Mr. Pei doesn't dislike it, Zhang Xuan is willing to communicate with you from time to time and discuss poetry and prose." .”

Zhang Xuan is not hypocritical, he has no intention of being a teacher, although the seemingly frail Pei Hui has left him with some good feelings.Besides, on the surface, he is still a young man who is not as good as a weak crown, and it is not appropriate to be someone else's husband at this age.

Of course, he does not reject the relationship with Mrs. Guo Guo's mother and son.Because before that, he had already determined his future attitude towards the Yang family.

From the very beginning, he had no intention of becoming a party with Yang Guozhong.Although Li Linfu was a treacherous official, Yang Guozhong was not a good guy, and his infamy in history was worse than Li Linfu's.

Neither far nor near, close at hand.That's the attitude.

It is possible to have a relationship with Mrs. Guo Guo's mother and child, and even win the support of Yang Yuhuan in the palace, but she will never mix with Yang Guozhong.In other words, the Yang family is his strength rather than his backing. For the traverser Zhang Xuan, it is the best choice to arrange his future life by relying on his foresight advantage of information and accurate judgment of the current situation. .

Zhang Xuan's immediate statement obviously won a certain favor from Li Longji.Although Zhang Xuan was talented, Li Longji, as an emperor, naturally liked talented subjects, but what Li Longji hated most in his life was the kind of people who were proud of their talents.Li Bai was so talented back then, but he still didn't get his reuse. The reason was that Li Bai was too wild, which made Li Longji unhappy.

At this moment, if Zhang Xuan shows a little bit of "complacent" or ignorant attitude, Li Longji will suppress him mercilessly, and his previous goodwill towards Zhang Xuan will disappear in an instant.

But Pei Hui looked weak and cowardly, but in fact he was quite stubborn, and he couldn't pull back the things he was sure of.

He kowtowed on the ground and said, "On the way to study, those who have achieved it come first. Mr. Zhang is full of talent and learning, and Pei Hui admires him very much...I beg the emperor to make decisions for the boy."

Li Longji frowned, Pei Hui was like this, if it was someone else, he might have had an attack long ago.But after all, Pei Hui is Yang Yuhuan's nephew and Mrs. Guo's only son, so he can't embarrass this junior too much.

"You boy, you are stubborn." Li Longji forced a smile, and looked sideways at Mrs. Guo Guo.

Mrs. Guo Guo's eyes flickered for a while, and at this moment she got up silently and bowed down, "Your Majesty, Hui'er of my family has been fond of poetry and prose since she was a child... My family sees that Zhang Xuan is a good learner, with both ability and political integrity. Hui'er can always be taught by his side , the servants are relieved."

"Sanlang, this is also a beautiful thing. Zhang Xuan's talent can be used to teach Hui'er. Why don't you follow the example of the ancients and call them teachers and students, but they are actually brothers. What does Sanlang think?" Seeing that the third sister, mother and son insisted on this, Yang Yuhuan stood aside Help to speak.

As soon as she opened her mouth, Li Longji couldn't say anything more.He smiled faintly and waved his hands, "Yuhuan is right. In this case, Zhang Xuan, just as the imperial concubine said, you and Pei Hui are called teachers and students, but are actually brothers. They study poetry and prose together to prepare for the court in the future. "

Although Zhang Xuan was not very happy in his heart, he really couldn't refuse this matter.

Zhang Xuan has always been a resolute and decisive person. Knowing that pushing back and forth will not help the matter, but will also arouse the emperor's resentment, and then offend Mrs. Guo Guo's mother and son, it is better to agree readily.Or so, it's not a big deal either.

Pei Hui raised his head, a gleam of joy flashed across his delicate and immature face.

Zhang Xuan's talent and learning performance today has completely conquered this young man.He has been looking for a good teacher to guide him in reading, but he has never found a suitable one. When he meets Zhang Xuan, he naturally refuses to let him go.

……

……

The banquet of the day ended happily.

Emperor Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan went back to the palace to their heart's content, but Mrs. Guo Guo had already passed out drunk and was helped into the room by the maid to rest.

At sunset, Zhang Xuan rested for half an hour in the guest room of Mrs. Guo Guo's mansion, and then left.At the gate of Mrs. Guo's mansion, he happened to meet Princess Yuzhen Li Chiying and Cui Ying who were about to go out and return by car.

"Farewell, Your Highness Yuzhen." Zhang Xuan stepped forward to salute.

Li Chiying smiled gracefully, nodded and said, "Zhang Xuan, you have made a big splash today, and you are deeply loved by the emperor and the empress. Your talent and learning are peerless, and I also appreciate it. However, I have a few words Keep it in your heart."

"Please enlighten me, Your Highness." Zhang Xuan was taken aback, thinking, what do you have to say?

"Mu Xiuyu will be destroyed by the forest wind... As a human being, you still need to know how to advance and retreat. I hope you can be modest and prudent, and don't be arrogant and domineering just because of your talents..." Li Chiying's voice was very calm, she turned her head Glancing at her goddaughter Cui Ying who was silently bowing her head and standing by her side, she smiled and said, "You have a marriage contract with Ying'er, so you can be regarded as a junior of this palace. advice."

"The Queen's Japanese Palace held a banquet in Yuzhen Temple to announce to the world, you can come too."

Zhang Xuan secretly smiled, thinking that this kind of words still need you to teach?If we can't even grasp this sense of proportion, then I'm afraid we won't be able to survive in this prosperous Tang Dynasty.

But on the face, Zhang Xuan bowed humbly, "His Highness teaches, Zhang Xuan will take it to heart."

Li Chiying nodded approvingly, glanced at him again, and waved his hand, "I'm going. Yinger, let's go."

Cui Ying silently followed Li Chiying into the carriage and left without even looking at Zhang Xuan, but let Zhang Xuan stand there and watch Princess Yuzhen's luxurious carriage leave slowly, feeling a little disappointed.

After getting into the car, Li Chiying smiled softly, "Ying'er, this kid is really good, mother sees that he will not be someone in the pool in the future. You should be content with such a husband."

Now that there are no outsiders, Cui Ying can relax physically and mentally.She sighed faintly: "Mother, Ying'er actually has nothing to lose in her heart... In the past, he was a well-known playboy in Chang'an City, but all of a sudden, he became unbelievable... he The high level of talent and learning is something that Yinger has only seen in her life, but the more this is the case, the more Yinger feels that it is not real..."
