Li Hong did not expect to find anything from his words during this short conversation with Li Xian. However, when Li Hong mentioned that Li Zhong and Helan Minyue were dead, Li Xian's expression and Li Zhe's expression were still the same. Something is different.
Although Li Xian's expression was reasonable, Li Hong could still feel that this guy was still a little unprepared for his sudden mention.
Li Zhe's expression was much richer. He wanted to talk to himself, but every time he opened his mouth, Li Xian would change the subject. Even occasionally, Li Xian would force him back with his eyes.
But no matter what, Li Hong has determined that even if the deaths of Li Zhong and Helan Minyue have nothing to do with Li Xian, it is a definite fact that there is a gap between Li Xian and himself.
Li Hong had already started heading to the palace where he was having dinner, and over there, Wu Mei had already smiled and accepted the generous gifts that Yiyang and Gao An had prepared for her.
The golden cicada and jade leaf was a treasure that originally existed in the palace. Because Li Lingyue liked the golden cicada on the jade leaf, she cried and screamed and had to ask Li Hong to pick it out for her and put it on her head. So, such a good treasure was The brother and sister messed up, leaving only a jade leaf that looked like a cabbage leaf in Wu Mei's room.
The gilt incense was once used by Li Hong to store grasshoppers when he was a child. The squeaking sound at night scared Wu Mei awake. She and the palace maid rummaged around naked on the bed, but they couldn't find it. Where did the cry come from.
Finally, the overwhelmed Wu Mei found the gold-plated incense stick that Li Zhi had been looking for for two days but couldn't find it from under the sleeping Li Hong's bare buttocks. Inside, however, there was a fat and strong Grasshopper having sex. Yep, as for the aromatherapy, it was naturally thrown away long ago.
So someone was beaten by Wu Mei while he was sleeping. When someone woke up the next day, he told his mother that his butt hurt.
Wu Mei was surprised and asked, "Didn't you wake up last night?"
"Oh, it turns out that the mother really spanked the child, and the child thought it was a dream."
"..." Wu Mei was speechless for a moment. In her dreams, I always hit him. How many bad things must he have done
Not to mention the animal-headed agate cup. When the little boy was three years old, while his father was playing with him, he suddenly turned his head to talk to himself and unexpectedly peed into the animal-headed agate cup. , and as soon as Li Zhi, who turned around and didn't pay attention, picked it up, he was splashed with urine by the boy inside.
So someone who had not yet become the crown prince at that time was beaten so hard by his mother in front of his father that his buttocks were swollen for three days, and the palace was rarely peaceful for three days.
But since that day, the little bastard began to have thick cotton pads on his pants, especially on his buttocks and knees.
As for the other gifts that Yiyang and Gao An brought, most of them were inextricably related to Li Hong, and they were basically treasures related to Li Hong's childhood.
Naturally, Wu Mei also understood the two of them's intentions, and used this to express to herself the position of their princess after they got married. She also used this gift to explain to her that the two sisters would stand in Li Hong's position at all times.
Of course, he also used these gifts to please her, hoping that he could still go in and out of the palace after they got married, especially to go to Mrs. Xiao's residence.
However, Wu Mei would naturally not open her mouth and tell Yiyang and Gao An that they could visit her mother and concubine when they had nothing to do.
As a queen, she obviously would not allow them to do this due to her noble pride and self-esteem. Although she was able to enter the palace back then, Concubine Xiao Shu was suspected of roping her in to deal with the Queen, but now and then, she is now a It is extremely rare for the empress of the world to turn a blind eye and allow her to associate with his majesty.
Yiyang and Gao An obviously did not expect these gifts to make the queen promise anything to them. Moreover, they only entered the palace to simply thank the queen. They did not dare to covet the royal treatment given to them when they got married that day. What could the queen promise them
Wu Mei was also very satisfied with the reactions and expressions of the two people. With her keen eye for observing words and expressions, she could naturally tell that the two women came to see her and thanked her completely from the bottom of their hearts. Therefore, as a queen, she naturally He won't act too petty.
At the entrance of Penglai Hall, in front of Li Hong and others, he held the hands of the two girls cordially, without even taking care of his own biological princess. This was considered to have given Li Hong enough face, and at the same time, it also made Li Xian and others less interested. A trace of thoughts about whether he would bully Yi Yang and Gao An in the future.
Surrounded by palace maids and eunuchs, the three of them were like three sisters, chatting and laughing, leisurely strolling to the dining room.
Li Hong, Li Xian and others were already waiting for Wu Mei and others at the door. After being scolded for no reason, someone followed Wu Mei into the dining room with a shameless face.
Even if their father Long was not there, the seat next to Mother Long would still be empty. Li Hong looked at it and thought maliciously, if Father Long had a bad guy in Liaodong, wouldn't he have to give the seat to Father Long? Cutlery, add something to every dish
Naturally, he didn't dare to say such treacherous words. He sat down on the other side of Long Ma. The other side was empty of Long Dad's seat. Next were Yiyang, Gao An, and Li Lingyue.
Li Xian, Li Zhe and Li Dan were naturally next to Li Hong, and the one sitting at the bottom was the consort who had never had a high status in the Tang royal family.
Quan Yi, Wang Xun and Li Hong are familiar with each other, but they seem to have only met the empress three or four times now. Naturally, they felt awkward and uneasy during the dinner. After the meal, they didn't know how much they wanted to eat. Tell me, if the little food you eat during the dinner can cushion your stomach, it will definitely be necessary to eat more after returning.
Someone watched the palace maid serve the essential dish of Snowy Night Peach Blossom and then pour water on it. He subconsciously stopped and asked, "Does your imperial kitchen only focus on this dish? Other dishes Don’t you think you’ll get tired of doing this all the time?”
"Aesthetic fatigue? Just say you're tired of eating! Why don't you go out and wait!" Wu Mei's face suddenly darkened when she heard Li Hong's words. There was also a bit of embarrassment in it, so she was unreasonable. ’s bang said.
This dish has become a must-have dish for every banquet in the Tang Dynasty royal family. Although I am tired of eating the dish, it is mainly for the atmosphere, the soaring clouds and mist, like a fairyland atmosphere. Otherwise, the royal dining room would have been cooked long ago. This dish has been replaced.
After Li Hong said it just now, it became clear in an instant, yes, the dishes can be changed, but the fairyland-like mist can be retained. Why did I forget to change it? Now when the unfilial son reminded me, naturally I felt a little embarrassed. , something that I have always regarded as a treasure was said to be worthless by him in just one sentence. It would be strange not to be angry.
Li Lingyue ignored her mother's scolding of the imperial brother and, accompanied by the palace maid, had already begun to attack her favorite dishes.
Grape wine is of course indispensable, and Wu Mei's drinking capacity is also very good. Back then, when the healthy Father Long and Mother Long were drinking wine, Father Long was the one who drank the wine most of the time.
During this banquet, except for Li Hong who dared to have a drink with the empress of the world, Li Xian, including Li Xian, drank well and did not dare to be sloppy in front of the empress.
Moreover, Li Xian and Li Zhe were reprimanded by Wu Mei for being drunk in the East Palace, so these days they rarely drink excessively.
Today Jing Wu Mei said: "It's rare for the prince to be filial and know how to come to the harem to accompany me to have dinner. Today, Xian'er and Zhe'er don't need to be restrained. I allow you to have fun today. Yiyang and Gao'an are also not restrained today." oh."
The palace musicians in the corner slowly played flowing music, and naturally there were also singers and dancers performing there.
The crystal cup inlaid with gold suggested by Wu Mei looked noble and blurred against the bright red grape wine and the light.
Li Hong drank to his heart's content. Under Wu Mei's provocation, he held a bottle in one hand and a cup in the other. First he drank a full glass with his mother, then he followed Li Xian and Li Zhe, passing by the little fat Li Dan. Afterwards, he drank a full glass of wine with Quan Yi and Wang Xun.
Li Lingyue, who was as big as a brat, wanted to toast to the emperor's brother, but the emperor's brother pressed her head and her whole face suddenly plunged into the sweet and delicious cake specially prepared for her.
Li Lingyue raised her little face again, neither angry nor crying. She even stuck out her tongue and licked the cake on her face. She giggled and continued eating her favorite cake.
Needless to say, Yiyang and Gao'an have been with Li Hong for many years. After drinking a whole glass of grape wine, their cheeks turned red immediately, and they looked so charming and charming. Together with the slightly tipsy Wu Mei, the three of them The girl naturally became the most charming person in the entire palace.
Wu Mei took a sip of grape wine, held the crystal cup elegantly, and said with a hint of drunkenness: "Li Hong, it is great to have wine and songs. It is said that you have been worrying a lot recently. As for me... I won't force you. I have written poems, but I have already enjoyed enough of the palace music and dances. I heard that your East Palace houses the four most famous courtesans in Chang'an. I wonder if I will be lucky enough to enjoy them."
Wu Mei's words were simply pleasing to people's hearts, but Li Xian and Li Zhe excitedly shouted that their mother was wise. Even Yiyang and Gao An also looked forward to it. The four famous people in Chang'an had also wanted to see it for a long time. , what kind of beautiful people are they, so that the literati and the children of aristocratic families in Chang'an can regard them as everyone.
Filling the crystal cup in Wu Mei's hand with grape wine, Li Hong, who was also half drunk, looked at Long Ma's expression. There was nothing he didn't understand. The words were spoken so straightforwardly. If he didn't It would be really treasonous for Xue Chuer and the others to be summoned into the palace.
"My son, I obey. I will call them into the palace to present a song for my mother. Hua Meng and Jingzhe go and do it quickly."
