After the Lantern Festival, the whole of Luoyang seems to have suddenly become deserted, just like the Lantern Festival in the previous life. After the Lantern Festival is over, people will feel emotionally that the flavor of the new year has completely disappeared without a trace. .
Li Hong was stared at by Wu Mei, because she vaguely remembered that this was the first time Li Hong had come to Luoyang in her memory, and she was deeply afraid that he would treat Luoyang like Chang'an again and have to destroy the entire city of Luoyang on this day of celebration. It was a mess.
Therefore, apart from being consciously taken to the White Horse Temple by Dragon Father and Dragon Mother, Li Hong has been wandering around in his one-third of an acre of land. But even so, Wu Mei still has lingering doubts in her heart!
Xia Zhi disappeared, saying she was going home to visit her relatives. Xiaoxue disappeared. Her mother seemed to have fallen ill a month ago. Banmei is also missing. Her father drank too much on Yuanri and seems to be ill. Xunlan disappeared, her cow was lost...
Wu Mei believed this excuse for being beaten or deserved a beating, and she was too lazy to argue with him because of the Chinese New Year. Xunlan was lonely, her parents had died long ago, and they died while serving Wu Mei, so Xunlan had no relatives except some relatives.
But in any case, Wu Mei also knew that the disappearance of these four maids who had watched Li Hong grow up and had been regarded as confidants by His Royal Highness could not be without reason, but as for what they were doing
Since she would rather give such a reason why she deserves a beating than tell you the truth, she doesn't want to bother asking anymore. After all, the prince has grown up, and as a minister, it is not right to let a few palace maids go home to honor the ancestors. impossible.
But Wu Mei doesn't know what the truth is, but it is definitely not as frivolous as Li Hong said.
The envoy sent by the white-clothed Dashi Yuanri turned out to be His Royal Highness the prince who fought with Li Hong in Jiling City: Ben Salih. Above the Yuanri court hall, Wu Mei discovered that there seemed to be an undercurrent between the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty and the Prince in white clothes, which made neither of them happy.
Of course she also knew that when they rescued Wang Mingyuan and Belus, the two had met each other, but now that they met again, there was a feeling of jealous enemies meeting each other, and it was even more like the illusion of two wolves competing for the status of the alpha wolf.
An undercurrent caused the other people in the court to stay away from the two of them when they looked at each other. It was like there was an invisible aura, pushing the people nearby aside, leaving enough space for the two of them. Da Shang, and even Wu Mei, were secretly worried when they saw the cold eyes of the two looking at each other, fearing that they would fight on the spot if they disagreed.
But fortunately, both Li Hong and Saleh maintained a restrained attitude during the grand congratulations in the Qianyuan Hall. One person in particular not only robbed someone else's sister, but also robbed someone else's sister's heart. , which makes it surprising that Saleh has a favorable impression of Li Hong.
The two people approached each other under the trembling and apprehensive gaze of everyone. They both had tall figures, uncompromising aura, and fierce killing power. They looked at each other quietly, neither of them willing to admit defeat due to their aura.
But perhaps because of the home field advantage, Saleh was the first to speak in the end, but his face and attitude looked as bad as his dead father in Li Hong's eyes!
"Yeyue's letter to you! You also asked me to tell you to send more perfume, soap, underwear, crystal, etc., so that when I leave this time, those carriages must be full."
"Dreaming! I haven't taken any advantage of your sister, and you're just talking like a lion? Are you so embarrassed?"
"Didn't she take advantage? Who gave her heart to?!"
"It's two different things. I will ask Bai Chun to prepare the things she needs every month and deliver them in time. But why should you fill up your carriage? You can fill it up if you want, just give me the money."
"you… ."
"Not convinced?"
“….”
"A real chapter? You can choose between civil and military affairs!"
"Okay, today is the time for the distinguished Tang Dynasty to congratulate you on the first day of the Tang Dynasty. I know that you Tang people drink Tusu wine during the congratulations, so I will compete with you!"
"Okay, whoever vomits first has a grandchild."
"Okay, whoever vomits first is the bastard!"
"Bring the wine." Li Hong risked his life. He knew better than anyone how bad Tusu wine was. It was not wine at all. It was even worse than the traditional Chinese medicine prepared by Sun Simiao himself. But he couldn't care less today because he risked his life. , and the barbarian in white must be brought down.
"Add one more! If you vomit first, the carriage must be filled with my designated goods for free." A sneer appeared on the corner of Saleh's mouth. He had never been afraid of anyone while drinking.
"Okay, if you vomit first, I'll fill it up as you requested, but... every item is ten times its price!" Li Hong looked at Saleh provocatively.
"It's a deal!"
"It's a deal!"
Then the "honest" Yang Wu hurriedly grabbed the history book that originally recorded the meeting of the great dynasty from the historian, ran over, and asked His Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty and His Highness the Prince in white clothes to sign their names.
It was the custom of the Tang Dynasty to drink Tusu wine on the first day of the year. Jars of Tusu wine were then brought to the two of them by the palace maids. Under the watchful eyes of Li Zhi, Wu Mei, other foreign envoys, relatives of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and civil and military officials , the two of them started drinking like water.
Don’t you feel happy after drinking Tusu wine? Just change the wine! After drinking a lot of Lanling wine, Saleh began to notice that there were several figures of the hateful Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty in front of him.
Change the wine! Grape stuffing! So once again, with everyone stunned, the grape wine was drank as water by the two people again, until Saleh, who was drinking, stretched out his thumb to Li Hong, and then fell straight down. Then someone hurriedly ran out, no, he was going to vomit. .
Li Zhi watched with envy as Li Hong drank wine and ate meat. Unfortunately, as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he was too weak to drink wine like water like that unfilial son.
Wu Mei was trembling with anger. How could she drink like this? Is this life-threatening? Drunk yourself to death!
But from that day on, all the ministers unanimously warned themselves that drinking with His Highness would lead to a tragic death.
Li Hong, who had been weak for three days and with all his bones falling apart for three days, filled the carriage accompanying him with white clothes and food with the prescribed goods as agreed.
Saleh was just slumped on the bedside, slapping his head as if it were filled with lead, and frowning as he looked at the signed documents in Yang Wu's hand, leaving behind what they all needed to go back to Baiyi Dashi. After the expense.
His Royal Highness, who was dressed in white and feasting on food, was puzzled, shook his head and frowned, wrote another IOU, signed his name, pressed his fingerprint and handed it to Yang Wu, asking him to bring it to His Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty.
Watching Yang Wu leave, Saleh, who was sitting on the bedside, looked at his servants, then at the documents in his hand, and murmured: "You are not allowed to tell anyone about this after you go back." Listen, don't tell Yeyue that I...I...I owe the bastard a hundred thousand taels of silver! If anyone dares to tell you, I will cut his tongue!"
From that time on, Wu Mei began to become suspicious. She would always look at Li Hong with thoughtful eyes every day, which frightened Li Hong into thinking that his mother-in-law was possessed by a ghost. He repeatedly asked if he should find some Taoist priests and monks to help her. Is she doing rituals
As expected, someone naturally got a feather duster for his pleasant words. During those few days in the palace, the palace scene was filled with Li Lingyue's applause and encouragement, Wu Mei's feather dusters flying around, and Li Hong jumping up and down.
There was no other reason. Wu Mei suspected that Li Hong's white-clothed princess had the flesh and blood of the Tang Dynasty, so she became suspicious and kept thinking about how to get the emperor's grandson back.
No matter how Li Hong explained it, Wu Mei would shake her head thoughtfully and firmly believe that the flesh and blood of His Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty had disappeared among the people. Therefore, the feather duster often appeared in someone's dream, even if it was holding Bai Chun's enchanting body, the feather duster would often wake him up in his dreams.
Since this is the case, then Li Hong thinks that the queen mother wants to have a grandson, but the queen mother has not found a princess for him yet. Where can he find a fat grandson for her
Therefore, Li Hong was interested in Ze Wang Li Shangjin and Xu Wang Li Sujie. Since he didn't have it, but the third and fourth sons did, he could just go to the palace and entertain them himself, and let them come with their families. Would it be possible for the Queen Mother to see her grandson who is not her biological grandson, to alleviate the Queen Mother's pain of missing her grandson, and to cure her suspicion and confusion
Before the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, after Wu Mei met with King Ze and King Xu's grandson, and rewarded him with some items as usual, he was cured of his illness, and finally believed that Li Hong and Little Hoof in White Clothes did not have an illegitimate child. fact.
After the Lantern Festival, King Ze Li Shangjin, King Xu Li Sujie, and Prince Li Hong chartered a boat for the first time. They only took Yang Wu with them, and they plotted on the boat for a long time.
So the next day, King Ze Li Shangjin went to the palace to resign. With the emperor's approval, he led his family to his fiefdom of Yizhou the next day. As the governor of Yizhou, he had a false name, but the governor of Yizhou The chief official is Lu Lisu.
Since he told Li Hong, he will now go back and start acting according to the plan with Li Hong. As expected, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's maids Xia Zhi and Xiaoxue, as well as Hua Meng and Cheetah are already waiting for him in Yizhou. came back.
Sitting in the residence of King Xu Li Sujie. Because of Li Hong's request, King Xu Li Sujie was able to stay in Luoyang City after the Shangyuan Festival, along with his family members in Chang'an.
Looking at Li Jing, the son of Li Sujie who has just learned to walk, Li Hong likes to make people cry when he has nothing to do, but the little guy obviously also knows that this person with a higher status than his father is a bad person. So no matter how Li Hong teased her, the little guy cried two or three times in front of Princess Xu. Later, no matter how much Li Hong teased her, people no longer wanted to see him.
Seeing Princess Xu leaving with little Li Jing, Li Sujie still sat with a smile on her face. He had already learned a lesson about Lao Wu's rude behavior.
The two of them made tea by themselves in the living room. There was no one else in the whole hall except the two of them. The two of them looked serious at the same time. Next, they wanted to hear from King Xu about how the Xiao family of Lanling came to be in disguise. The use of privately minted old money is a thing.
