"Alang, Alang."
Li Linfu heard the shouting, opened his eyes, and found that he had fallen asleep sitting up.
The person standing in the hall was actually Xue Bai. He was surprised. When he turned around, he saw brother and sister Li Xiu and Li Tengkong were also there.
"Alang!"
Cang Bi, who was kneeling on the ground, climbed up a few steps and stepped forward and said: "I have served Alang all my life and am very loyal. Alang must not listen to Xue Bai's instigating words and alienate his loyal servant!"
Cang Bi was sincere and cried every word, but Li Linfu thought about it for a while before he remembered what happened.
It seems like it was yesterday that the Seventeenth Mother said that there was a thief in the house, who leaked his serious illness to his political enemies and needed to be found out. Li Linfu disagreed with this. He believed that what should be done was not to catch the thief, but to intimidate.
Because he is not sick.
Since he is not sick, how can it be that a thief in the family has released false news? Others must have seen him drunk at Xue Bai's wedding banquet and spread rumors. As long as he comes forward, the rumors will be self-defeating and even give a shock to the young people.
But the Seventeenth Mother said that he was sick, which was ridiculous. She just felt a little cold and was tired and easy to sleep.
"Since you have been captured," Li Linfu said slowly, "What did you reveal to Zhang Bian?"
"No!" Cang Bi shook his head, "There is absolutely no such thing. It was all Xue Bai who framed the villain. He wanted to harm the Right Prime Minister's Mansion!"
Hearing what he said, Li Xiu was also a little suspicious, worried that Xue Bai wanted to get rid of Cang Bi first in order to control the prime minister's house.
Xue Bai observed the change in Li Linfu's demeanor and said calmly: "Tengkongzi and I set up a bureau to give different news to everyone in the Youxiang Mansion. However, these different news were not given after talking to Manager Cang. What was given in the beginning was before.”
Cang Bi was about to explain, but froze again.
He remembered that before Li Tengkong went to check Alang's pulse, he had whispered a few words with Xue Bai.
At that time, when he saw the expressions of the young couple, he thought they were talking about the love between men and women. He never thought that in those few words, the two of them had already made up a plan to deceive him, and only him.
"Yes." Li Tengkong said, "My daughter told Manager Cang that grandpa is Feng Yi. This is false."
Xue Bai said: "I said that supporting Chen Xilie before the Right Prime Minister takes office is also a lie."
"The villain doesn't..."
"Just this morning, Miao Jinqing transferred an official three times in a row, from Qianniu Guards Chief Shi, who was in the seventh rank, to Zhongzhou Sima, who was in the fifth rank. This must have been done under Zhang Bian's instructions to bribe Chen Xilie. That official document has been approved by the Secretary, and is now in the Ministry of Personnel. The Right Prime Minister can check it. If you don't check it carefully, it may be missed, but if you reject it, it may make the Left Prime Minister dissatisfied."
Li Linfu looked at Li Xiu and said, "What do you say?"
"In this matter, I don't know that the news spread by Qi Niang is false."
"stupid."
"By the way." Xue Bai said: "There is another possibility. The thief is Juro."
Li Xiu was stunned for a moment and said displeasedly: "Don't be ridiculous."
His natural reaction was similar to Cangbi's reaction just now. But if the traitor is between him and Cang Bi, it must be Cang Bi, not him.
Li Linfu recruited a servant to go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to investigate, and asked Xue Bai: "The official document has not been seen in its original form. How did you know about it?"
"Zhang Bian is beating me up." Xue Bai said: "I went to Buzhengfang for a meal the day before yesterday. Zhang Bian thought that I went to secretly meet Chen Xilie and got the news that I wanted to make Chen Xilie the prime minister. Yesterday, he threatened and lured me After a while.”
Cang Bi still wanted to quibble, but his teeth were chattering when he spoke.
"Alang, the villain didn't... Xue Bai really wronged the villain. Alang was not sick. He drugged his wine when he went to Xue Bai's wedding banquet, and he passed out in public. Xue Bai wanted to eliminate all those around Alang. People!"
As soon as Cang Bi said this, even Li Xiu knew that he was talking nonsense. Because Li Xiu knew best what happened at the wedding banquet, she kicked him to the ground and angrily said, "Why did you betray me?" Grandpa?"
"There are really no villains!" Cang Bi cried bitterly, hoping for luck, and said: "Juro was also deceived...Alang, you are not sick, but Juro said that you were sick and wanted to take the opportunity to make a fortune... "
Li Xiu couldn't believe that he could make up such words.
Xue Bai felt that Cang Bi could see clearly that Li Linfu was not aware of his illness, which was why Cang Bi dared to betray him. Li Linfu was ill at this age, and the big tree of Youxiang Mansion would fall sooner or later. When the tree falls and the macaques scatter, this is the normal state of the world.
What's more, it's not been a year or two since Cang Bi used his position as a steward of the Prime Minister's Mansion for personal gain. How is it possible to expect him to be loyal when a man's heart has been soaked in wine and sex?
Even Xue Bai, an outsider, noticed that Cang Bi was greedy for money and had an affair with a maid, but Li Linfu still trusted him. It was not so much because he was dark under the lamp, but because he knew Li Linfu too well. After serving him for thirty years, he knew that every time Li Linfu The meaning of a subtle movement, therefore, he could easily hide it from Li Linfu.
Just like Li Linfu, what he is best at is deceiving Li Longji.
"Alang, they are saying that you are sick everywhere. But you are not sick. The villain knows that you are not sick. How could the villain leak the news?" Cang Bi cried: "It doesn't matter if the villain is dead, but Xue Bai wanted to harm him. It’s you, Alang.”
"You still dare to talk nonsense? I think you are going against the grain." Li Xiu said angrily: "Am I talking nonsense?"
Cang Bi said: "Alang, Shiro was deceived by Xue Bai. Seventeen Niang had an affair with Xue Bai, so she was taken advantage of by Xue Bai..."
Xue Bai was too lazy to listen anymore, so he stepped forward, picked up Cang Bi's hair, and slapped him ten times in a row until his cheeks were red and swollen and he could no longer speak.
The hall fell silent, and Li Tengkong stood there with his head lowered.
Li Linfu didn't say anything. After waiting for a while, when the servants he sent out came back after finding the official documents he wanted, he waved his hand and ordered Cang Bi to be dragged down for disposal.
"I believe in Juro and I believe in Seventeenth Mother... It's time for the Prime Minister's Mansion to change its management."
Xue Bai thought for a while and responded: "It's time for the Tang Dynasty to change its prime minister."
Suddenly a light flashed in Li Linfu's eyes, and he said in a serious tone: "I just made an agreement with you the day before yesterday. How dare you break your promise and get fat?"
"Rather than saying that I deceived the Prime Minister, it is better to say that the Prime Minister deceived me." Xue Bai said: "When we talked at that time, I didn't know that the Prime Minister was already so ill."
"Bang!"
Li Linfu picked up the tea cup next to the table, knocked it directly at Xue Bai's feet, and said, "Are you trying to anger me?"
"The right minister says he doesn't believe it, but in fact he knows in his heart that he is seriously ill and cannot be cured, your position will be lost, and the people you have offended over the years will come back to you for revenge..."
"do not talk."
Li Xiu was still dazed, but Li Tengkong had already stepped forward to push Xue Bai, trying to push him out of the hall.
Xue Bai refused to retreat and let her push him. He still observed Li Linfu and said, "You have been living in ridicule all your life, 'How can I be a Langguan?' So you held the position and refused to let go, because You know very well in your heart that you are not worthy of the phase. You got this phase from a woman's belly, you got it by abandoning your ministers, and you got it by ostracizing your colleagues. You have paid too much for it, and you have sacrificed your life's dignity. , morality are all thrown into it, so you regard the phase as your fate. But you have to throw it away, it has never been yours..."
"Stop talking." Li Tengkong pleaded with Xue Bai regardless of her Taoist conscience.
She knew that her grandfather was very prone to hysteria after he felt the tremendous pressure to resign.
Xue Bai also noticed this and deliberately angered Li Linfu at this time.
"You don't dare to get sick, and you don't dare to grow old. You spend your whole life trying to catch something that doesn't belong to you. In ten or twenty years, it still doesn't belong to you, because future generations will say that you will never become a competent person. Prime Minister, do you know why? You only care about the selfish interests of a few people, and ignore the people of the world. No matter how good you are in rowing, you don’t know that when the flood comes, you will only get a boat destroyed and people killed..."
Li Linfu became furious after hearing every word, clenched his fists and stood up.
Although Xue Bai did it on purpose, he still scolded him happily, and there was even a trace of a sinister smile on his face. He stared at Li Linfu closely, and saw that the expression on that old face was completely out of control.
Li Linfu's face turned red because of his anger, and even his nasolabial folds were trembling. His strong beard seemed to be exploding, his eyebrows had flown into his pale hair, and his eyes could no longer keep the same size. One stared, and the other couldn't open his eyes due to twitching eyelids.
This was the distortion caused by anger. Li Linfu's eyes that stared at Xue Bai were bloodshot.
The two looked at each other.
Xue Bai waited to see if Li Linfu got sick.
However, those bloodshot eyes became more and more awake, and Li Linfu became more and more angry, but he did not get sick. It seemed that he had not been so rational in decades.
Xue Bai didn't wait until Li Linfu fell into hysteria again until he was dragged out.
~~
"Don't think I don't know what your plans are."
Outside the hall, Li Xiu pointed at Xue Bai with very alert eyes.
Now his grandpa is ill, and who knows when he will develop hysteria. Xue Bai had previously said that he wanted the Right Prime Minister's Office to cover up the matter, and he must be taking the opportunity to manipulate government affairs.
He has noticed the wolfish ambition.
"You can't hide." Xue Bai responded casually, looked at Li Tengkong, and nodded apologetically.
But he would not let Li Xiu go for her.
"Yes, I am provoking your grandpa and want to see how sick he is."
"He's not sick!"
"The most terrifying thing is not to be able to find the pattern of onset." Xue Bai said: "If he doesn't have an attack today, the next time he may be facing saints and officials, he will point at the longevity king Li Xuan and call him your majesty."
"Stop talking, you can't scare me."
Li Xiu hated Xue Bai for being disrespectful to his grandfather, but he also felt the fear that Li Linfu might get sick at any time.
He originally wanted to say a few more cruel words, but then he thought that it was still up to Xue Bai to find out the traitor in the Youxiang Mansion today.
"Xue Lang is rude today, please go back. Let's talk about other matters after you calm down."
"That's fine."
Xue Bai was not in a hurry. Although he did not see Li Linfu getting sick today, it did not mean that Li Linfu had recovered.
The difficulties facing the Right Prime Minister's Office are still the same, even far more severe than expected.
It was true that he had bad intentions, but it was a conspiracy, and with Li Xiu's talent, there was no way he could crack it.
Xue Bai then said goodbye. He walked through the path and walked out of the outer hall. He saw that there were still many officials in the front yard of the Prime Minister's Mansion holding official documents waiting for Li Linfu to review.
Today's saints like to let important ministers hold dozens of positions, but it depends on whether Li Linfu can handle it well, let alone in such troubled times.
…
"Right Prime Minister, the Ministry of Rites should go through the procedures for the saint's betrothal to the princess to marry the Anqing clan."
The speaker was Lu Shanjing, a senior official in the Ministry of Rites. He was looking at the screen in the meeting hall and saw Li Linfu's shadowy figure behind the screen, as majestic as usual.
However, there were some broken porcelain pieces on the carpet that had not been cleaned up. It was obvious that the right prime minister had gotten angry with someone not long ago.
After waiting for a while, he heard Li Linfu ask.
"The saint really betrothed the princess to marry the Anqing clan?"
"Yes." Lu Shanjing was stunned and said in a low voice: "This matter was reported to the right minister by the lower officials the day before yesterday. The sage had issued an edict to the Ministry of Rites to prepare for the princess's marriage."
There was the rustling sound of documents being turned over from behind the screen.
After a while, Li Linfu said: "Step back, this matter is not urgent."
"Here."
Lu Shanjing felt a little strange.
In the past, the Right Prime Minister was the best at understanding the Holy Will, and could often give quick solutions to such matters, but today he seems to be still hesitating?
After Lu Shanjing retired, the hall was quiet for a while, and Li Linfu behind the screen said slowly: "Call Shilang and Qi Niang to come over."
Therefore, Li Xiu and Li Tengkong were called back to the hall not long after they left. They walked behind the screen and saw Li Linfu leaning there with a tired face and a somewhat depressed look.
"What do you think about the saint's intention to confer marriage to the Anqing clan?"
"My child... I don't know about this." Li Xiu responded shamefully, "My child, I haven't been able to take care of these common affairs recently..."
Li Linfu raised his eyes and glanced at his son, his eyes neither happy nor sad.
Although he did not believe that he was seriously ill, he felt very tired. He knew that with his current energy, he could no longer manage the affairs of the entire Tang Dynasty as usual. Definitely not guaranteed.
By then, the Li family's disaster is not far away.
"Juro."
"The child is here."
"If you take a break as a father, will you be able to support your family?"
"If a child is shattered to pieces, he must bear the responsibility."
Li Linfu looked at his son with great reluctance and murmured in a low voice: "It would be great if I were as young as you. If only you were 50% as capable as me..."
The voice was so soft that Li Xiu didn't hear it clearly, but he could feel his grandfather's disappointment.
"Is Xue Bai still in the house?"
"What?" Li Xiu was stunned again.
There have been too many changes recently, and Li Tengkong heard her brother say: The most common sentence was the panicked "what".
"Go and invite Xue Bai over again." Li Linfu's face was still tired after being filled with anger. His hands were still clenching his fists angrily, but his tone was very calm. "Go and invite Xue Bai in person. Be more respectful and lower your body when you are weak. It’s not shameful…go.”
Li Xiu left with some sadness and anger.
Li Linfu looked at Li Tengkong and murmured: "Among the many children, you are the one who is most like a father, but it is a pity that you are a daughter."
"My daughter is unfilial. I don't understand how my daughter is like my grandfather?"
"Heart Qi." Li Linfu coughed twice and said: "As a father, I have been disdainful of being a clerk or a minor official. If you want to do it, you must do the best you can in this life... You are the same. You don't want to fall into the vulgar world. You would rather If you practice Taoism, you will not succumb to those ordinary people. None of your brothers have this kind of spirit. When the spirit is low, the realm will be low."
Li Tengkong didn't agree with this, but he didn't refute her grandpa. He just said: "In this way, Xue Bai is the most like grandpa."
"So, your heart is with him."
"In my eyes, my daughter only deserves to be attached to other people. No matter how high-spirited she is, it's a pity that she doesn't have the body of a man like my brothers."
"Otherwise, can you still be prime minister? It's no longer the Wu Zhou Dynasty." Li Linfu murmured: "The thing I regret most as a father...is not marrying you to Xue Bai."
"My daughter doesn't want to marry him."
"I'm tired of being a father. Please help your brother more to support this family business."
"Grandma, what do you mean?"
"You understand."
Li Tengkong was not happy about this conversation and remained silent.
Not long after, Li Xiu came back and reported, "Master, Xue Bai refuses to come again."
"Seventeenth Mother, go and invite her."
"Grandpa," Li Xiu said, "I don't understand why you can't trust me. I can take charge of the family."
"Don't understand? Then I will make it clear to you as a father. Next, Xue Bai will help you take care of these things...cough cough cough cough..."
~~
An hour later.
Li Linfu talked with Xue Bai, waved his hands, closed his eyes, and soon began to snore slightly.
"Come with me."
Li Xiu got up helplessly and took Xue Bai to the outer study room of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
This is where Li Linfu usually handles official duties. The outside is connected to the public houses of staff and officials, and behind it is a row of houses used as a document storehouse.
Xue Bai walked into it and immediately smelled the scent of wisteria, which was refreshing. Mixed with this scent, there was also a lingering smell of ink and paper.
The study occupies a vast area, and the windows are all covered with hazy gauze. It provides excellent lighting and is very private. There are twelve large candlesticks in the house, which are guarded by twenty-four beautiful young maidservants in turns to ensure that candles are lit at all times but will not catch fire.
Li Xiu had three stools moved to the desk. He pointed and said calmly: "Sit down."
Xue Bai sat down directly, and Li Tengkong sat beside Xue Bai.
"You got your wish." Li Xiu said calmly.
"yes."
Xue Bai picked up Li Linfu's sleeves and tied up the sleeves to facilitate writing.
The maid had already polished the ink and washed the brush. Xue Bai was not polite and took it calmly. He took a look at the pile of documents on the case. At this moment, he felt the atmosphere of a prime minister handling state affairs.
The world's military, national and military affairs are all tied to this.
…
"clatter."
With a sound, Li Xiu took the seal of Shangshu Zuo Pushe and approved an official document, but Xue Bai could only watch from the side.
Naturally, the Right Prime Minister's Office will not be short of staff to deal with documents. These official documents have been sorted out and are waiting for the Prime Minister's review. Most of them only need to be stamped.
But there are several official documents among them. Li Xiu deliberately tested Xue Bai...
"Wait a minute." Xue Bai suddenly said: "This document is wrong."
"What's wrong?"
"Since the saint has betrothed the princess to the Anqing clan, why is there no title in the decree?"
Li Xiu didn't care about this before. He only heard people say that the saint betrothed Princess Hezheng to Anqing Zong. At this time, Xue Bai reminded him. He looked through the edict and all the documents and found that it was on the paper. The content never mentioned the title of the princess.
He then called a servant, handed over a command talisman, and said: "Go to Zongzheng Temple and please check the jade certificate of the clan to see how many princesses are suitable for marriage..."
"Is there no file in Youxiang Mansion?" Xue Bai said, "I don't believe it."
Li Xiu glanced at him and then pulled a rope behind him. A bell rang in the distance. After a while, a mute slave came over and made a few gestures. Li Xiu replied in sign language.
Soon, the mute slave came over holding a box of files.
Li Xiu stood up, read through it alone, wrote down a few names with a pen, and sat down again.
Every move he made made it seem like he couldn't trust Xue Bai.
this is correct.
Because Xue Bai's eyes fell on the file held in the hands of the mute servant, thinking that the royal jade document was originally copied in the Youxiang Mansion... It seems that there was a copy within the first hour of replacing the prime minister. A big harvest.
"The crown prince's daughter is granted the title of princess. Currently, there are only six princess titles. Princess Changle, Princess Ningguo, and Princess Yining are all married. There are also Princess Hezheng and Princess Yong. Princess Mu and Princess Boping.”
Xue Bai said: "Princess Yongmu sounds familiar. The prince-in-law Wang Yao married Princess Yongmu."
"They are not the same person. Princess Yongmu has married someone before, and you also know her husband's family." Li Xiu actually made a joke and said, "Wei Hui."
"I do know Wei Hui. I met him after his death." Xue Bai was very sensible and caught Li Xiu's joke.
Wei Hui was the emperor's nephew who was killed by Wang Fei and hanged in Chang'an County Prison. He often went to the Jiaofang to find women during his lifetime, and his relationship with Princess Yongmu must not have been harmonious.
Li Xiu said: "Wei Hui and Wang Yao are half-brothers. Wei Hui married the prince's daughter, and Wang Yao married the daughter of a saint. The wives of the two brothers are aunts and nephews, and they have the same title. ...What a coincidence."
Xue Bai took over what he copied. It seemed that Li Heng's daughter was also a poor person. Her biological mother was Wei Shi, her uncle was Wei Jian, and her husband was Wei Hui. As a result, these relatives either died or were imprisoned.
"With the saint's favor and trust in Anlu Mountain, Princess Yongmu will not be allowed to remarry Anqing Zong."
"I think so too." Li Xiu said.
"Princess Boping." Xue Bai said, "I have never heard of it."
Li Xiu was silent for a moment, waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry about it."
"Not Li Heng's daughter?"
"Um."
Xue Bai said: "That is... Li Ying's daughter?"
Li Xiu didn't want to mention the matter at first, but when the conversation started, she had no choice but to whisper: "Princess Boping was sealed early. She was only five years old when the three commoners were involved in the case, and she has been imprisoned in the palace since she was a child."
"Why?" Xue Bai was a little surprised, "Li Ying's son was adopted by King Qing, but his daughter was placed under house arrest."
"It seems that the twins are unknown, right?" Li Xiu didn't know this.
"Twins? I haven't heard of another princess."
"How would I know."
"Does Li Ying only have one daughter?"
"It seems that there is also a concubine who was adopted by Prince Qing. But Princess Boping is not a direct descendant."
Xue Bai was very concerned about this matter and wrote down the words "direct descendants", "five or six years old" and "twins". Now was not the time to ask more questions, so he said: "If it weren't for these three princesses, the saint might have Confess another princess?"
Li Xiu said: "That's hard to say. The saint has always doted on several nieces and nephews, and it is possible that he gave his niece a princess title, and promised An Lushan. Usually, for this kind of thing, I can understand the holy heart at a glance."
Xue Bai didn't believe that Li Linfu could read minds. He just had good ears and eyes. Otherwise, why wouldn't Li Linfu realize the Sacred Heart today?
"Juro, why don't you ask the palace officials?"
"Is it easy to ask?"
"Then let me ask about this." Xue Bai agreed.
Li Xiu was surprised by his methods, and then he understood why his grandfather had chosen Xue Bai alone.
When the two of them were talking, Li Tengkong sat silently beside him, as if he was meditating. Her grandfather wanted her to help Xue Bai help the Prime Minister's Mansion tide over the difficulties. There were two specific things to do. One was to win over Xue Bai, secondly, watched to prevent Xue Bai from controlling Li Xiu.
But just in the conversation about this official document, she already felt that Li Xiu obviously couldn't suppress Xue Bai.
~~
Xue Zhai.
A knock on the door sounded, and the concierge opened the door, only to see several maids standing outside.
"Is it Xue Lang's mansion? My master just moved next door and sent me and others to give some cakes to the neighbors."
When the news reached the inner house, Yan Yan put down the greeting card in her hand and said, "It's weird, it seems like I have experienced this before."
Yong'er said: "When Lang Jun first moved to Changshoufang, he went to Yan's house to deliver cakes."
"My mother-in-law used to be in charge, but now many people come to disturb me."
While talking, Qinglan hurried over and whispered: "Madam, the one who moved to the west is Princess Hezheng. Madam, you know her, right?"
Yan Yan nodded. She was married to Xue Bai at the time, and Princess Hezheng was also one of the people who wanted to marry her.
As a result, they were all married here, and the other party wanted to find her, so she couldn't help but mutter to herself.
"It's such a troublesome thing. If I had known, I wouldn't have married my brother."
…
That day, Xue Bai returned home and saw Yan Yan sitting there, looking at a box of cakes and slowly tasting them one by one.
Although her appetite is small, her taste is very finicky and she is not easy to feed.
When she saw Xue Bai coming in, she didn't rush. She waited until she swallowed the cakes in her mouth and took a sip of water. Then she stood up and said, "My husband is back."
"Why are you so elegant today?"
"There are too many young ladies who are giving me trouble. I have to practice and not find fault with them. Where did my husband go if he didn't go to the office today?"
"I have been prime minister for half a day." Xue Bai said with a smile, "How do you know I won't go to the Yamen?"
"The palace has sent someone to summon you to the palace for a banquet in Taichi in the middle of the year." Yan Yan raised her hand and pointed. She wrote down all the important things and put them on Xue Bai's desk.
This is Wei Yun's habit of taking care of Yan Zhenqing's housework.
After talking, Yan Yan just tasted a piece of pastry.
Seeing her enjoying herself every day, Xue Bai couldn't help but laugh again and asked, "Is it delicious?"
"Yes." Yan Yan said, "As expected of the palace's craftsmanship, it is even better than Fengweilou... by three degrees."
"Given by the noble concubine?"
"It's rare for my husband to guess wrong. It was a gift from a neighbor."
"That is?"
"Well, I'm so busy." Yan Yan glared at Xue Bai.
Xue Bai pondered and said: "How about you see Li Yuetu tomorrow and inquire about something for me, but you have to make subtle moves to prevent her from realizing that you are inquiring on purpose..."
~~
The next day.
"If the princess is really worried, then fine, I will tell the princess something. You must not tell anyone else."
"Okay, don't worry, I won't say anything."
Yan Yan deliberately lowered her voice and said: "Brother, I saw the imperial edict. It didn't mention the title of the princess. Maybe she wants to marry another princess to Anqing Zong."
Li Yuetu was a little surprised and said: "But is there any other princess who is more suitable for marriage?"
"No? Don't all kings have many daughters?"
Li Yuetu looked over and saw that Yan Yan was confused and curious, so he patiently explained to her.
As she talked, she mentioned that she had a cousin.
"She must not be able to get married, for fear of being imprisoned until old age."
"Why?"
"I don't know why. I've only seen her five times...she lives too lonely."
"Can we go see her?"
"If you can't go, she lives in Yeting Palace. I can only sneak in to see her when I go to Taiji Palace for a banquet. But the saint has not gone to Taiji Palace for many years."
Yan Yan loved listening to stories the most, and was also the best at encouraging people to tell stories, so she looked at Li Yuetu with eyes full of curiosity.
Li Yuetu couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, feeling that he had taken advantage of this innocent little lady. After that, he recovered his mind and told the story of her adventure in Tai Chi Palace.
"It was the Taichi Banquet at that time. The saints were entertaining guests in the Xianchi Hall, and the concubines and princesses were all in the Shujing Hall. I secretly ran through the Qianbu Corridor. But I had to pass through a palace gate in the middle, called Jiayou Gate, which is the gateway to Taiji Palace. The only way to the Yeting Palace is because it is the inner palace gate, and the gatekeepers are some internal servants."
Speaking of this, Li Yuetu's eyes turned red and he whispered: "I was raised by my mother-in-law. She was also imprisoned in Yeting Palace. The servants took pity on me and let me go..."
Only then did Yan Yan understand that it turned out that Li Yuetu secretly visited Crown Princess Wei Shi before she could meet Princess Boping. She felt that they were very pitiful and wanted to help them more in the future.
The two became good friends and talked about everything.
But this didn't stop her from telling a lot of things. After she returned, she told Xue Bai everything, and even drew the route from Taichi Banquet to Yeting Palace in detail...
