[Jian Wang III] Prosperous Tang Dynasty

The return of Xuanzong made the atmosphere of the court a bit delicate.

Nowadays, there are not many veterans belonging to Xuanzong's generation in the court, and Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi and others who hold great power are still at the border. Most of the officials in the court are newly promoted in the imperial examination in recent years. Yu people.

This is also one of the reasons why the emperor was not afraid of Xuanzong's forcible seizure of power.

The sun was setting, and the emperor, who had finished reviewing all the memorials in his study, put down his pen and stretched, and took a sip of tea from his teacup.

"Your Majesty," Zhao Song, the head of the palace, hurried over, "The Supreme Emperor... asked the adults in the court to show him the notes."

The emperor gave a nonchalant oh, continued to drink tea, put down the cup when he had had enough, stood up and walked around the room to exercise his muscles and bones, "How many people have handed him the booklet?"

"Not many, they are all old people from the previous generation."

"Well, draw up a decree, give them some things, I sympathize with their old eyesight, and hereby allow them not to go to court often, but once every ten days."

"Yes." Zhao Song responded, and went to the table to write a letter.

The emperor moved his stiff shoulders, and when Zhao Song finished writing, he went over to stamp the seal, put away the jade seal, turned and walked out of the study to see his injured brother.

When he passed by, Li Tan was drinking medicine in the bedroom, and the whole room smelled strongly of medicine.The emperor didn't care, his wife Cui Guifei was also taking medicine when she was sick in recent years, and he was used to the smell of medicine.

"Ah Tan, are you feeling better?"

"See Brother Huang." Li Tan immediately put away his sword and saluted, "Heal soon, brother, don't worry."

"That's good." The emperor smiled, "But Ah Tan, I'm going to wrong you for pretending to be sick these days."

Li Tan was taken aback for a moment, the tacit understanding between the two brothers made him quickly understand what the emperor meant, "Yes, brother, what do you want me to do?"

"In the past few days, we have secretly mobilized the Shence soldiers outside Chang'an City to closely monitor the people entering and leaving Chang'an City," the emperor said, "I will dispatch the imperial guards in the palace, you just need to bring the Shence soldiers stationed outside the city to prepare That is, Prime Minister Su will tell you the details of the specific actions."

Li Tan didn't ask any more questions, and nodded in response.

In the evening, the Huaqing Palace held a banquet to cleanse the envoys of Huihe and Turks. Originally, Xuanzong would also be there, but the emperor brought an imperial doctor to visit him and diagnosed Xuanzong with a cold, so he let him rest well.

When the lanterns first came on, Su Jixian entered the palace.

The palace was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and the lights were bright. Dressed up ladies and eunuchs walked through the corridors and flower paths, and guards in light armor and red shirts were patrolling or standing guard.

Su Jixian is wearing a black robe, he doesn't like to wear round neck shirts, all the clothes are double-breasted, with deep purple twigs and lotus trimmings, wide sleeves and wide sash, very flirtatious, the robe flutters slightly as he walks , the purple tangled lotus on the top seemed to come true, quietly climbing and winding along the robe, and blooming dark and charming flowers.

He was walking on the winding white marble flat bridge, and there was a beautiful lady in front of him holding an octagonal glazed palace lantern to guide the way. The elegant posture of Bu Shenglian, the picture is like a stunning picture scroll, with a sense of familiarity that makes people feel like a world away.

Someone recalled that many years ago, there was such a night banquet. In the dark night dotted with firefly lights, there was also a handsome young man with wide sleeves who walked out of the picture scroll of the night.

And that young man quelled a turmoil and created a prosperous world.

There were already many people at the table in Huaqing Palace, Su Jixian arrived neither too early nor too late.He took a seat under the guidance of the little eunuch, and the crown prince Li Miao, who had been under his command for a while and fought with him, toasted him and bowed his head slightly.

To a certain extent, Su Jixian is his half teacher.

Su Jixian also returned the gift. When he lowered his head to drink tea, he felt that someone was staring at him. When he looked sideways, he saw the glamorous woman, Princess Sangning, sitting next to the Turkic third prince Ashina Fenglei on the Turkic seat.

Sang Ning, who was caught staring at others, was not at all embarrassed. After performing a Turkic etiquette to Su Jixian, she lowered her head and concentrated on looking at the cup.

Not long after, it was time for the banquet to start. The emperor stepped on the clock and arrived at the scene. He smiled and read the scripted scene and then ordered the banquet to open. Plates of exquisite delicacies were brought up, and the fragrance that made the index finger move.

Immediately after the sound of silk and bamboo, dancers in apricot clothes filed in, dancing to add to the fun.

Su Jixian blocked the noisy praise and compliments in his ears, and ate the barbecue casually. He felt that the taste was a bit greasy and the taste was not good, so he changed to eat cold dishes. .

After the two dances, the meal was almost finished. Taking advantage of the gap between the maids changing the dishes and the dancers leaving, the Turkic third prince Feng Lei stood up.

"Your Majesty," he bowed his hands to the emperor with a smile on his face, trying to make a humble and gentle expression on his dark and rough square face, but he was not successful. The pearl of the prairie, no matter in appearance or dancing posture, will not lose to the beauties just now. I am bold enough to let my sister perform a dance."

The emperor smiled, his eyes were meaningful, "Oh? Then please."

Feng Lei nodded, and gently pushed Sang Ning who looked indifferent.

Princess Sang Ning glanced at him, as if a knife flashed in her long and narrow phoenix eyes, murderous.

Feng Lei was a little timid, and soon laughed again, with a low voice: "Think of your mother in the capital, Sang Ning, don't provoke me."

Sang Ning's hands on her knees were suddenly grasped, and her skirt was caught in folds. She took a deep breath, restrained her anger and murderous aura, stood up and bowed, "Please wait a moment."

She went to the side hall to change into her dance clothes, and not long after, a group of dancers in pink blouses and light green skirts came and gathered in the arena, like a budding flower bud.

Boom——The drum beat suddenly, and everyone's heart skipped a beat. The flower buds in the field suddenly opened to the sound of the drum, and a flaming red stood gracefully in the center.

It was Princess Sangning, wearing a fiery red dress, half of her face was covered by a veil, and the golden sequins reflected dazzling light spots under the light, her figure was too beautiful to be mistaken for.

Her skin is not white, but a light honey color.The eyebrows are not like the distant and thin eyebrows of women in the Tang Dynasty, but like a thin sword, flying sharply and beautifully.

Her dancing posture is as wild as a warrior's broken formation dance, and she also has the charm of a woman. Her feet wearing bells are beating the drums, as if they are also stepping on people's hearts.

Su Jixian drank tea and enjoyed the dance with a bored expression on his face. When he found that there were lychees in the newly delivered fruit, he stopped watching the dance and concentrated on eating lychees with his head down.

When he finished eating the second plate of lychees, the music stopped, and after a moment of silence, there was thunderous applause. Su Jixian also clapped his hands perfunctorily, and continued to eat lychees.

Sang Ning left the stage silently amidst endless praises, changed back into her clothes and returned to her seat. Before she could do it for a long time, Feng Lei's words made her almost jump up.

"Sang Ning is the most beautiful princess of our Turks. I wish to give Sang Ning to His Majesty so that His Majesty can appreciate the beauty of Sang Ning every day."

Before the words fell, the entire Huaqing Palace fell silent.The envoys of Huihe regretted not bringing their princess with them, while the officials of the Tang Dynasty looked upright, looking at Feng Lei with a sense of "so it is".

The emperor is not yet forty now, he is in the prime of life, there are not many concubines in the harem, and the concubine Cui Guifei, who should have become the empress, has not been conferred the empress, and the empress is still vacant. That meaning is also quite intriguing.

The emperor was an old god. After hearing Feng Lei's words, he didn't answer. Instead, he turned his head and gave a few words to Zhao Song, the chief eunuch beside him. return.

Prince Miao, who happened to be drinking, choked slightly, lowered his head and suppressed a smile.

"As we all know, fat is the most beautiful thing in my Tang Dynasty." The emperor said with a smile, "These five women are the most beautiful noble women in the palace. Prince Lei offers Princess Sangning as a gift, and I will use these five noble women in exchange. , give it to Prince Fenglei, and serve and wait for the prince together.”

Su Jixian raised his glass to cover his lips, suppressing his smile.

Ashina Fenglei's expression was a little cracked, he looked at the five superb beauties whose flesh could shake waves, his throat seemed to be blocked, and he couldn't speak a word.

Princess Sang Ning sneered silently, and the accompanying Turkic ceremony officials shook their heads in disappointment.

The emperor admired his expression like being struck by lightning enough, and gave him a good temper to step down: "It seems that Princess Sangning's excellence is unmatched by these five beauties. Prince Feng Lei is not willing to exchange? That's all. , It’s just that it’s better to think about it first when we talk about it later.”

Feng Lei apologized with a smirk, and sat down with a disheveled face, still smiling, but his eyes were quite gloomy, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

This episode was resolved in such an understatement, until the end of the banquet, no further troubles were seen from Turkic.

Su Jixian walked back to the mansion under the moonlight, and someone in the mansion was waiting for him in the moonlight.

Sitting outside the bedroom of the main courtyard, Lu Lingfeng hugged two snow-white fur balls, and the moonlight radiated tenderly around him. He seemed to be emitting soft light under the moonlight. Disorienting.

"Are you back?" Lu Lingfeng let the two fur balls play by themselves, got up and took Su Jixian's hand, "Did you drink?"

"No, I always have a headache after drinking these few days." Su Jixian let him drag him into the bedroom, kicked off his shoes and walked into the inner room, raised his hand for him to change his clothes.

Lu Lingfeng frowned, "Headache? Why didn't you tell me?"

"Hey, I only get a headache after drinking, but I'll be fine if I don't." Su Jixian smiled lightly, "By the way, Lingfeng, something interesting happened at the banquet today."

"Oh?"

So Su Jixian told him about Ashina Fenglei's moth, and finally shook his head: "I heard that the third prince is the one who is most eager for the throne in the Turkic royal family. From today's point of view, he can't win the throne." The brothers have won the throne, and their temperament is too bad."

"The reason why he can live until now is all because he has a powerful mother." Lu Lingfeng hung the clothes that Su Jixian took off on the clothes rack, "The Turkic princes are actually not very good, and the Turkic royal family is the most outstanding. The most important one is Ashina Sangning, but she is a woman, and Turkic has no precedent for a female khan.”

"Women are kings, in fact, it is not necessarily impossible. Empress Wu... let's not talk about this." Su Jixian shook his head, and suddenly found that he had been stripped of all his clothes by Lu Lingfeng at some point, and his naked body was in the light of the night pearl. The bottom is glowing like white jade.

Lu Lingfeng hugged him from behind, groping around with both hands, biting his neck, "Ji Xian, Ji Xian..."

"Hey... I did it yesterday..."

"That was yesterday, not today..." Lu Lingfeng threw him on the bed, calling his name one after another, "Ji Xian, Ji Xian..."

His voice was deep and hoarse, full of deliberate seduction, and every sound made people blush and heartbeat.Su Jixian had never been able to resist him, and soon dropped his helmet and armor, lying limply under him.

Just when Lu Lingfeng hooked Su Jixian to bed, Cang Zhu's voice suddenly came from outside.

"Master! There are guests coming!"

Lu Lingfeng paused, lowered her head and kissed Su Jixian who was about to speak until she fainted, and then asked in a low voice, "Which guest is it?"

"A woman with a Turkic accent, wearing a black cloak, said she wanted to meet the Lord."

"Ashina Sangning..." Lu Lingfeng was thinking all over, "Let her wait, if she can't wait, go by herself!"

"Okay!" Cang Zhu responded and ran away quickly.

Su Jixian kissed him on the lips out of breath, "This... so angry?"

"Hmm..." Lu Lingfeng snorted softly, and continued to do business.
