Tang Xuan

Before Lang Huai returned to his residence, he saw Lan Jun approaching with a bundle in his hand.She stood still and waited for Lan Jun to approach, and asked, "Why are you here?"

Lan Jun smiled and said: "The girl is already anxious to get on the boat. I am afraid that the master will go back and waste nothing, so let me come to find you."

Lang Huai shook his head and said with a smile: "It seems that you have prepared everything, so what are you waiting for? Let's go."

Lan Jun responded with a smile, followed behind her, not saying a word.Seeing that Lang Huai seemed to be in a good mood, she hesitated for a moment and asked, "Master, I don't know if I should say something or not."

Lang Huai didn't turn his head back, and said, "Tell me."

Lan Jun looked around and saw that the guards were far away, so he said in a low voice: "Master, Ah Zhu is also in her [-]th year, you should think about her."

Lang Huai turned to look at her, and joked, "Sister Lan, you are two years older than Mr. Zhu, why don't you think about it?"

Lan Jun glanced at her helplessly, and said, "My lord, I'm not thinking about you. If I really meet someone who is destined one day, you have to prepare a good dowry for me."

"Yes, yes, I listen to my sister." Lang Huai smiled, thinking that several big maids in his family have more ideas than one, which is really good.The two of them chatted for a few words, and Lang Huaicai said seriously: "Sister Lan, I can only keep Azhu's thoughts in my heart."

Lan Jun sighed secretly, his master and Mingda knew each other and fell in love with each other, they all saw it in their eyes and kept it in their hearts, how could they not know?However, it was Zhu Jun, that silly girl who followed Lang Huai to conquer the west, and she paid her all infatuation.

"For so long, I don't know how to properly place her." Lang Huai walked with her to the edge of the Qujiang River, looking at the vast pool of water, and the willows on the bank. "Later she told me that she just wanted to stay by my side. Sister Lan, back then my son cared about me, and I was all-in on my mind. If I could guard her and see her intact, I would have no regrets in this life."

"I can't give A Zhu anything else, I can only give her this little bit. If she meets a lover in the future and is happy with him, I will treat her like a sister and marry her well. If she is willing Here, can’t I protect her for the rest of my life? You must know that you are all like sisters in my heart. We are called masters and servants, and we have long been close as a family.” Lang Huai frankly waved to the painting boat that was rowing in the distance He signaled, and said again: "Sister Lan, you don't need to tell Sizi about these things."

Lan Jun couldn't help but feel sad for Zhu Jun, that idiot, and felt that Lang Huai's generosity was much better than those hypocrites who said that they refused but actually behaved despicably. Seeing that she cared for Ming Da wholeheartedly, he naturally understood what she was worried about. "Don't worry, Lord, I know how to measure."

The painting boat was already in front of me, Mingda Li'er and Zhu Jun were standing on the bow of the boat, one by one happily competing with each other.Tao Jun and the guards put down the pedals, and Lang Huai and Lan Jun boarded the boat one by one.She smiled and asked, "Why are you so impatient? The sky hasn't completely cooled down yet."

Mingda hurriedly grabbed her arm, walked to the stern, and said, "Look, look, I caught it!"

Lang Huai leaned over to take a look. The sound of water in the pottery tank was exquisite, and a red carp was swaying and spitting out blisters, looking naive.Lang Huai nodded Mingda's nose and said with a smile, "Just one tail."

Mingda lay on the edge of the pottery vat, stretched out his hand into the water, swayed back and forth, and said with a smile, "Catch a tail for fun, just wait for you to take a look." After she finished speaking, she stood up and shouted: "Come on, take this unlucky fish away." Put it back, little guy."

Mr. Zhu immediately took a large bowl and carefully fished out the red carp from the pottery vat.The two walked to the side of the boat, and together they threw water and fish out together.The waves were shining brightly, and the setting sun was slowly setting. The red fish only stirred up a small splash, but it was nowhere to be found.

At night, everyone sat around the stern of the boat and lit two palace lanterns. When the candles were extinguished, the breeze carried the fragrance of lotus in the pond, making them feel cool.Lang Huai took off the jade spandrel, loosened the neckline, and leaned half on the rattan chair, watching Mingda and Zhu Junli'er bickering, and said to Tao Jun, "Don't blame people for having fun. If you can have leisure, who can live like this?" People don't want to?"

Tao Jun handed over the grapes he had taken out of the ice bucket, and said with a smile, "I've worked so hard, don't be envious." Seeing that Lang Huai liked grapes, he persuaded him, "Master, it's delicious, but don't overdo it. Notice..."

"Come on, I know." Lang Huai interrupted him, pinched off a section with his fingertips, and said, "That's all, can you rest assured?"

Tao Jun smiled foolishly and stopped answering.After a while, Mingda became interested and asked Li'er to fetch a pipa.She turned her head sideways and said: "Today you all have good ears, this girl can easily not play!"

She put the pipa across her knees, pondered for a moment, and then plucked the strings.The tune is cheerful and very exotic.If it is said that Princess Gucheng ranked first in Chang'an in music back then, it was because she practiced hard, but Mingda always has a rose-like delicacy in her bones.

Although he hadn't drunk, Lang Huai was slightly tipsy.After washing up, she almost couldn't wait to pick up Mingda, and along with the slightly shaking boat, she fell into the bed together.

The two faced each other, Mingda held her face in his warm little hands, and said in a low voice: "There are only the two of us on the second floor, and I asked them to be placed on the first floor."

"Si, it's good to be like this forever." Lang Huai sighed and kissed the delicate lips in front of him.After retreating from all desires, I just want to be with her quietly like this.

Who would have expected that such a peaceful time would only remain in memory in just a few months?That night was like a dream, sweet and clear, with a long aftertaste.

As July approached, Emperor Ming was tired of the scenery of Furong Garden, and ordered to drive back to the palace.The emperor is now at peace with his affairs to the crown prince Li Xun, and he is no longer in court.

Since Tatuotu became the prime minister, he cooperated with Li Xun to sweep away the unhealthy trends when Li Qian dominated the government a few years ago.Zhao Mo was so helpless that he even wrote a letter requesting to become an official.Li Xun remembered Emperor Ming's exhortation, and refuted it back.

All recruits from various provinces have already entered Beijing, and now the Ministry of War is stepping up training to divide the arms.In addition to being busy with these things, Lang Huai was also secretly preparing some firearms for Xue Hua that she used to break the city.And the news brought back by Lang's firm is that Cong Canglanhu really retreated to worship the Buddha, and Gucheng took care of the internal affairs of Tubo, which was not inappropriate.

After several deliberations, Lang Huai can only say that there is an agreement between Cong Canglanhu and Gucheng, and the specific reason is beyond the knowledge of her, an outsider.

It's just that Li Qian was so quiet that he could hardly feel the presence of His Highness in Chang'an City, so he had to think carefully.

At the end of July, Li Xun accidentally fell into the pool of Taiye. Fortunately, Lu San was with him that day.Without further ado, the big man jumped into the water and fished Li Xun up.

When Lang Huaimingda got the news, he only knew that Li Xun was still alive.The definite news came the next day—Li Xun took a boat to the Penglai Hall to meet the Emperor Ming, halfway through the trip, he suddenly fell into the pond.When Lu Laosan fished him up, he had already passed away.

I'm afraid it's not very good.

These are the original words brought back by the sender.Mingda gritted his teeth, and there was abnormal hatred in his eyes.Li Xun once drowned once when he was a child. Since then, every time he went to Penglai Hall, he was very careful. How could he fall for no reason?

As soon as she was about to enter the palace, Lang Huai hurriedly stopped her and persuaded: "Since the third brother is following, there will be no serious problems."

"Ah Huai! That's my elder brother!" Ming Da couldn't hide his uneasiness, and said, "I must enter the palace!"

Lang Huai pressed her shoulders, and said in a deep voice: "Li Qian's move, there must be someone behind him. You can't take risks easily! I'm going to Daming Palace now, no matter what, first find out what's going on with His Majesty, and then make a decision!"

Ming Da forced himself to restrain his panic, and nodded in response to Lang Huai's firm gaze.Lang Huai heaved a sigh of relief, and ordered Lan Zhu to follow Ming Mingda, took Tao Jun with him, and hurried out of the mansion.

But when he arrived outside the Daming Palace, before she asked to see him, he saw a familiar school lieutenant approaching on horseback.

"Mu Gong, stay!" This man had a beard of an inch. Lang Huai thought for a moment, remembering that this was Weiss, the captain of the Jinwu Guard, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Captain Wei? I stay?"

Weiss didn't stop until he was in front of her. How dare he accept Lang Huai's gift?Quickly turned sideways to avoid it, and said: "It's His Royal Highness who wants to come here!"

Lang Huai nodded, looked around, saw a lot of people, and asked, "How is Your Highness?"

"Go back to Duke Mu, everything is fine." Weiss followed Li Xun's instructions, and said, "His Royal Highness wants to tell Duke Mu that Commander Yuchi has already entered the palace. Please rest assured, Duke Mu."

Only then did Lang Huai breathe a sigh of relief, as long as Yu Chian was in the Daming Palace, Liang Qinfang could do nothing.The Emperor Ming is safe, and the Tang Dynasty is safe.

It's just that Li Qian made this move, and she gradually lost sight of what the picture was.

Contrary to what Lang Huai and the others expected, Liang Qinfang basically stayed at home on leave these days.There is a guest sitting in Liang's mansion, that is Huai Wang Li Qian.

"The bodyguard committed suicide because he was protecting His Highness the Crown Prince, and he didn't leave anything behind." Liang Qinfang put Heizi down, and said, "Everyone must think that we are in Penglai, and if Lang Huai enters the palace, he will be sowing discord."

Li Qian watched Liang Qinfang's sunspots break through with a smile, and said: "This move is for the second hand, it doesn't matter if Lang gets into the urn or not. It's just that my elder brother is really fateful, and he won't die."

Liang Qinfang dropped another ball, and the sunspots began to fight back.He laughed and said, "Isn't this what His Highness thought? Wouldn't it be cheap for him to die in vain?"

Since the two are on the same boat, they naturally have no scruples when talking.Li Qian smiled slightly, without comment.

Suddenly, someone tapped lightly on the door three times, followed by two more taps after a pause.Li Qian didn't raise his head, but Liang Qinfang was willing to stand up.

He always knew that Li Qian had laid a dark chess piece in the palace, but he never knew the identity of this chess piece.Liang Qinfang walked to the door and opened it.

The person outside was dressed in black and had a hood, so it was hard to see who it was.He came in without making a sound, and only after the door was closed did he take off his hood.

Liang Qinfang was accompanying the Ming Emperor, so she naturally recognized this person's identity.He couldn't help being taken aback, it turned out to be Yuan Xuanhong!

Yuan Xuanhong ignored Liang Qinfang and let him stand there in a daze.He walked to the front of the case, and said directly: "Grand Mu didn't enter the palace, and walked around outside the Daming Palace, a guard said something to her, and then left."

Li Qian had expected it a long time ago, and said with a light smile: "This father-in-law is really lucky, but it will come to an end."
