"That's right." Han Rui admitted frankly, smiled slightly, and asked curiously: "How do you know?"
"I heard that you met for a drink and fun at Yangcheng Lake last night..." Li Ji explained.
Han Rui was slightly startled, and then he laughed dumbly. This kind of gossip has actually spread to this extent.
Li Ji smiled and said: "I don't know how the news spread, but you have a close relationship with Concubine Yang. I guess it must be related to this matter."
"What do you think?" Han Rui asked back, angrily: "It must be Concubine Yang's guy who is behind this. Otherwise, the news wouldn't have spread so fast, and even you would have heard about it."
"That's natural." Li Ji smiled and said, "I heard that Concubine Yang is quite famous in Jiangzhou..."
"You are quite well informed." Han Rui praised.
"It's not just me, countless people are talking about this in the streets and alleys of the capital." Li Ji spread his hands and said with a smile: "Brother Han, do you know who Concubine Yang is?"
"I don't know." Han Rui shook his head sincerely.
"She is a well-known talented girl." Li Ji clicked his tongue and exclaimed: "She is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry, singing, dancing and swordsmanship. She is especially good at playing and singing. Her voice is moving, melodious and melodious, making people intoxicated and forgetting their worries. She is called The sound of nature.”
"Since he knows, why is he hiding?" Li Ji said in surprise: "Because he is afraid that you will really force him to do good things."
Concubine Yang smiled again and said softly: "Prince-in-law, you just thought about it. Since it is my husband's wish, you have to violate the law, so you agreed."
"Yes." Suzaku nodded and said frankly: "Yes, it's just a guess."
"Of course not." Concubine Yang said, "Therefore, you have to find your husband to discuss it."
Concubine Yang smiled sweetly and whispered in a serious voice: "Prince-in-law, since you are here, if you mind staying overnight, please."
Standing under the low bridge, looking at the undulating Willow River, a gust of hot wind blew, ruffling his hair and making it fly. Che Jun suddenly felt a trance, as if he had returned to his childhood memories, and a strange silhouette appeared in his eyes. , which made me startled, and then I woke up. I quickly gathered my thoughts and continued walking back.
"Did he tell you just now?" Li Ji rolled his eyes and said, "You lied to him, right? He believed it. If you insist on telling me, then it's torture for you."
After walking a few steps, he turned back, sighed heavily, and chased after Li Ji again.
"This is bad." Li Ji sighed slightly and turned back to the bookstore.
On the banks of the Yangliu River, the lights and shadows overlap, ancient trees and stone monuments stand, withered beams and painted buildings, pavilions and pavilions are looming, the running water mingles in the winter, and the sweet music of the piano is heard, melodious and touching, it is a car that is passing by, but it is enjoying the music. The elegant scholar looked attentively, looking left and right, looking for other people. Unexpectedly, a gust of fragrant wind rushed towards him, and then his slender hands grabbed his sleeves.
"It's broken." Li Ji waved his hand and said, "Let's get back to the topic. Concubine Yang has nothing to do with you."
Han Rui hesitated and said loudly: "I heard that Concubine Yang invited him, and I also hope that he can give some advice."
Han Rui was silent and noncommittal. He was not so bored as to inquire about the deeds of a person he had never met. Besides, people in ancient times liked gossip the most, especially officials. They were even more enthusiastic about publicizing this matter in order to satisfy their superiority. Vanity.
"That's a bad idea." Li Jishen said in agreement, "Go back and prepare the gifts now, and bring them with you when the time comes."
Che Jun cried and laughed and said: "My dear, if he did that, he would put you in a situation where you will be doomed."
Suzaku raised his head, showed a warm and kind smile, and greeted: "Mr. Han, there is nothing to do. Please give me your instructions."
"It's better to wait for those two days and wait until evening." Han Rui suggested.
"It doesn't matter. Tomorrow is not a holiday, so you can't send him back." Concubine Yang said with a smile: "Anyway, you have something to do. If you have something to do in your free time, you can play with him."
"It's because he's afraid." Han Ruili said condescendingly: "Although he is a scholar, he comes from a humble background. How can he compare with these powerful people? He will use these stupid tricks to oppress ordinary people like you."
"Really." Concubine Yang smiled like a flower and said softly: "Then... you can set off now."
"Yeah." Han Rui hesitated and nodded: "I know, coercion and inducement are just a trick to deal with a playboy like you."
That's it. Li Ji touched the tip of his nose. He couldn't help but laugh or cry. What's the reason? After careful consideration, it is indeed the case. Take Han Rui as an example. As the grandson of the prime minister, he is willing to be inferior to others. He only has no complaints and is very optimistic and actively participates in scientific examinations. , just based on that spirit, Li Ji admired him.
"You know, you work very hard too..." Han Rui chuckled.
"Something's happened." Concubine Yang wrote in a serious tone: "It's like that anyway, you're short of time."
Concubine Yang rolled her eyes and said angrily: "Does he think you are perfunctory?"
"It is said that Concubine Yang wants Yang Si'er to marry him." Zhuque said with a smile: "Yes, that's just a guess, not a certainty. Mr. Han might as well go and see it first."
"It's still separated by a gauze curtain." Che Jun interrupted: "Besides, he is a handsome man. Who cares about his attraction?"
"I've seen it before." Li Ji shook his head and denied it frankly, then asked: "You have nothing to do with you?"
"That's okay." Li Jishuang said slowly, "You go back and make arrangements, and go to the Yang Mansion for a banquet in the evening."
Suzaku stopped and said with a smile: "Worry is just making a fuss, it will get in the way."
"You agreed to that," Li Ji said simply.
It could be heard that Concubine Yang was joking, but the underlying meaning of the words was not ambiguous at all, which made people think of Pian Pian. Li Ji's heart sank slightly, but he dared to continue, hurriedly changed the subject, and asked: " So, what are you going to do now?"
A long time ago, dusk fell, and night gradually enveloped the imperial city. The lights were brilliant and brilliant, like stars, shining with a charming luster.
Han Rui was stunned, then smiled and nodded: "That's right. How can a handsome young man like him look down on a mere mortal..."
Li Ji looked around for seven weeks, thought for a moment, and then said straight to the point: "Concubine Yang summoned you to the palace. Is there anything you can ask for?"
"Of course it's a lake tour." Concubine Yang said with a smile, "Have you forgotten that tonight is the first time of the Yangzhou Poetry Festival?"
"Bad." Han Rui nodded and said, "When the time comes, you can send carriages and horses to pick him up."
Concubine Yang sighed heavily: "He is probably worried about Han Rui's revenge. Worrying, you guarantee that he will be implicated. As long as you take him out of the house and leave Chang'an City tonight, it will have something to do with him."
"Really?" Li Ji narrowed his eyes, doubtful.
Seeing this, Li Ji couldn't help but reached out and patted me on the shoulder, and said happily: "He doesn't have such thoughts. He is not a bad example and deserves respect."
A charming voice full of charm and charm, unique to mature men, said: "Prince-in-law."
"Don't talk nonsense, let me tell you the result directly. What is it?" Li Ji asked, but secretly, was it because of this splash-ink painting? It's possible that Concubine Yang is short of money and doesn't have the support of Taichang Temple's father, so she just wants to get entangled with me. Maybe she has no hidden agenda.
Che Jun frowned slightly and said with some satisfaction: "Brother Li, does he know what you hate the most?"
"He is a person who knows how to be fearful. If it were anyone else, I'm afraid he would be able to go to the banquet immediately and soak up Concubine Yang's immortal energy, which would weaken his own temperament." Han Rui said with a smile: "It's better than him. That banquet was not a Hongmen Banquet, at least it was not a poetry meeting, it was just about reciting poems and composing poems, so there was nothing wrong with it."
"It's bad." Che Jun was depressed and waved his hand and said, "If something happens, you know what to do."
Che Jun was silent. A moment ago, he shook his head heavily and said, "Forget it, you are being followed and monitored by the Bank of China."
"That matter has nothing to do with you. You were just following orders." Han Rui smiled bitterly and said, "If he had agreed, you would have dared to disobey the official's orders."
"Well, you've gone." Li Ji waved his hand and thought, thank you for being smart, otherwise you would have been deceived.
"Hey." Concubine Yang called, and she quickly moved her lotus feet to chase after her. She rolled up Li Ji's sleeves again and said with a smile: "Prince-in-law..."
"Oh, did he discuss that matter with his parents?" Li Ji asked. After all, Yang Sigong is the general magistrate of Yangzhou. Although his official position is small, his power is great. He should not be qualified to participate in that grand meeting, but why did he meet Yang Sigong? Instead, Concubine Yang hosted a banquet for heroes from all walks of life.
"That's okay." Li Jitan said in a loud voice and walked away.
"You are an orphan and a man..."
When it was all said and done, Li Ji shied away, nodded, and said: "Okay, I'll do it according to the empress's wishes. You have to say bad things first, and you have to leave Chang'an City before things go smoothly. Returning to hometown to worship ancestors..."
"He must persuade you." Li Jidan said: "This is your ambition. Besides, Concubine Yang is a stunning beauty, and she is interested in being part of that silence."
"Then he told you why he had to go?" Li Ji frowned and said, "How does he know that Concubine Yang is not this Concubine Yang."
"Oh." Li Ji frowned, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It must be Concubine Yang who is looking for me. She probably wants to set a trap for me and lure me into a trap.
"So complicated." Li Ji was surprised and thought you were perfunctory.
"Let's go." Li Ji nodded, watched Suzaku walk out of the room, and suddenly asked, "By the way, Han Rui, this bastard, is causing trouble?"
Concubine Yang was stunned, then burst into laughter, covered her mouth and stamped her feet, and said coquettishly: "Prince-in-law, he is so good."
Suzaku was stunned, then nodded and said: "I understand, it is an imperial edict, and it requires his consent, unless... he enters school."
Li Ji declined and hurried back to the manor in the city on horseback. After tidying up a little, he hurriedly left and went straight to the palace.
"Does he know Concubine Yang?"
"It's Hanhu." Han Rui shook his head and said: "It is said that it is a banquet for the scholars, and it is also a small ceremony to celebrate Concubine Yang's new concubine. It is estimated that several banquets will be held to invite celebrities and writers from the capital to appreciate Concubine Yang's grace."
"Prince-in-law..." Concubine Yang's cheeks flushed, and she quickly explained without any panic: "You have no good intentions."
Li Ji said patiently: "Hey, has he finished speaking?"
"Prince-in-law, you are cannibalizing again, what are you afraid of?" Concubine Yang said angrily, her eyes were full of sadness, a bit sad.
"Concubine Yang, please stop making trouble." Li Ji frowned, shook off Concubine Yang's hand, and ducked away slowly to avoid the bad luck of being pulled. Then he looked back and saw the graceful Concubine Yang, wearing a Wearing a pink skirt, she stood pretty next to her, holding her hair with her hands, smiling lightly, and her shy and charming appearance was really heart-stopping.
"Yes, it's very similar." Li Ji nodded seriously, looked up at the hazy full moon in the sky, and suddenly said: "The moon is so beautiful tonight. It is brighter and uglier than last year."
He walked out of the palace and came to the far side of the royal study. The guard guard stopped him. Che Jun handed over his token and retreated smoothly. He walked back to the edge of the vermilion lacquer pillar and found a gap. He stretched out his hand and knocked hard. With a squeak, the wall slid open. A door.
"Farewell." Suzaku bowed and saluted.
Li Ji took a carriage and leisurely arrived at the West City of Chang'an. He galloped along the busy and noisy streets. After a while, he arrived at the most famous Yangliu River in Yangzhou City, where Concubine Yang lived.
After passing through the spacious space at the door, Li Ji walked back, walked around the bookshelf, and came to the desk on the east side. Looking at Suzaku sitting in front of the desk and writing, Li Ji nodded slightly.
Li Ji curled his lips and said: "These people have no skills other than appreciating beauty, so they don't want to be with us."
Han Rui talked eloquently about Concubine Yang's great achievements, seeming to be lost in memories, with an intoxicated expression.
Che Jun was determined, and Concubine Yang said solemnly: "Prince-in-law, does he want you to pester him every day?"
"Uh..." Li Ji blinked, feeling that it was no longer inexplicable. He pointed out that there was nothing unusual about it.
What a pity. Li Ji sighed inwardly. He had seen through the appearance a long time ago. His expression was intense and his tone was calm and he said, "Mother, is nothing wrong?"
"Concubine Yang said that he has excellent piano skills and is talented." Che Jun said with a dark smile: "Tonight happens to be the day for flower lantern viewing. I am sure Brother Han would like to go to watch it later, so we can't take the opportunity to see him. If he goes, this If there is anything, just treat it as if you know it’s broken.”
"Mother, you have to go home." Li Ji said firmly, "I'm really sorry."
"It's bad, anyway, his parents are deceased, so you just go back to Beijing to report on your work." Concubine Yang smiled and said, "Not only can't we go the same way, but you can go wherever he goes. When he returns to Hangzhou, you should follow him." Go, not because you know that when the time comes...he will be willing to take you in."
Looking at Li Jiyuan's retreating back, the charming smile on Concubine Yang's face quickly disappeared. She gritted her teeth and murmured to herself: "That big guy, you are losing your temper and salt. It's really difficult to deal with..."
"Why are you back again?" Li Ji was surprised.
Che Jun frowned and hesitated: "Is that...appropriate?"
"Yes." Che Junhao said politely: "He agrees to help you first, and then you tell him about Concubine Yang."
"That is your Majesty's order." Suzaku smiled and said, "You can reveal less."
Li Ji curled his lips, ignored it, and continued walking back.
"Yes, I miss my family even more during the festive season." Concubine Yang felt disappointed. Li Ji paused, turned around, frowned and said, "Mother, he should hold the lake in his mouth. That would cause misunderstanding."
