Tang riddles

On May 21th in the [-]st year of Kaiyuan, Chang'an.

Near noon, a group of people appeared at the entrance of Tonghua. They gathered at the nameless tea shop outside the entrance, chatting while eating and drinking, as if they were waiting for someone to arrive.There are seven of them in total, all of them are dressed in ordinary clothes, except for a young man in the head, who is wearing a blue brocade brocade cloud-pattern gown with a round neck and crotch, wearing a black-footed headband, with a handsome and handsome face, which is very eye-catching.

The doctor of tea in the teahouse poured tea for them for the fifth time, and the man smiled and said thank you.Dr. Cha was dazzled by his beautiful smile, and finally couldn't help saying:

"Lang Jun is waiting for someone."

"Yes." The man replied with a smile.

"May I ask, who are you waiting for?" Dr. Cha asked.

"Hahaha, you can't say it, you can't say it." The man blinked mysteriously and smiled.

Dr. Cha didn't feel embarrassed at all. First, the man's behavior and conversation made him feel like a spring breeze. Second, he had set up a tea shop at the gate of Tonghua for many years. He often had to deal with people from all walks of life.So he immediately changed the subject and said:

"I see that Mr. Lang is so young, but he has just reached the crown?"

"Where is it, last year has passed." The man waved his hand and said.

"Tsk, I really can't tell, Mr. Lang is so good." Dr. Cha praised.

The man said something ridiculously generous.

"Oh, it's hot today, and it's not easy for gentlemen. The shop has iced sour plum soup, can I have a bowl?"

"Good." The man nodded.

Dr. Cha is very happy now, these people sitting here are really taking care of his business, and they are generous.It's just that he is still very curious, who can make such a gentleman with excellent temperament and demeanor wait here early in the morning.He observed these seven people carefully, and felt that they were all kung fu people, and they looked like people who practiced martial arts, and then looked at the posture of the dragon and the tiger, and he was [-]% sure in his heart.Moreover, these people are all equipped with weapons. Although they are all wrapped in cloth strips to hide the light, anyone with a discerning eye can see it.It doesn't matter if you are a martial artist, as long as you don't make trouble at our small stall, Dr. Cha is still a little nervous.

Sitting and waiting for a while, a sharp-eyed man seemed to have seen someone coming in at the gate of the city, and reminded the gentleman, who threw down the tea money, and immediately led a group of people to untie the horse, and led the horse to greet him. up.During the whole process, Dr. Cha did not say a single word. Dr. Cha took some money from the table and realized that it was too much, but he didn't stop the gentleman, he knew it was a reward.After collecting the money, he stretched his neck and looked in the direction of the group of people, trying to figure out who they were welcoming.

In the end, he was startled, only to see a long line of well-disciplined troops entering the gate of the city, and they were all female soldiers of Yishui, and there could be one or two hundred soldiers.The team carried the "moon" flag, and the old Chang'an people knew at a glance that this was the Gongyue Army of the Princess of Jin.

No wonder, no wonder, it turned out to be the princess of Jin.Dr. Tea sighed in his heart.It's just, isn't the Princess of Jin leading troops in the frontier?Why did this come back all of a sudden?Although the common people in Chang'an City can often hear some gossip about the ruling and opposition parties in the streets and alleys, the specific situation is definitely not very clear.

Princess Jin returned to Chang'an, but only this group of men in casual clothes greeted her, which was a bit shabby.Logically speaking, Jing Zhaoyin should be dispatched.Could it be that he returned to the city in a low-key and secret way?But this battle is not low-key, anyone can notice when one or two hundred Gongyue troops enter the city.

Did something happen in the palace?Dr. Tea secretly guessed.

Soon after the leading Gongyue army passed by, a spacious and comfortable carriage entered the city, and I saw that the gentleman bowed in front of the carriage, dropped his horse, and entered the carriage.The carriage quickly continued to set off, and the remaining men surrounded the carriage and set off with the team.The target is naturally the Princess Mansion of the Kingdom of Jin located in Changle Square.

It turns out that Mr. Lang is a close friend of the Princess of Jin, so he really doesn't show his face.Dr. Tea sighed, and in the end he could only wipe the table and put away the tea bowl, thinking that it was a great blessing that such a big man drank tea with me.

……

Shen Sui lifted the curtain and got into the carriage.Looking at the scene inside the car, I couldn't help but feel a little funny.

The three people sitting in the car presented a state of unnatural space allocation.The interior of the car was obviously very large, but Li Jinyue and Xu Jie squeezed together, leaving most of the space to Yang Yuhuan who was sitting beside her.

They haven't seen each other for four years, Li Jinyue and Xu Jie haven't changed much, the only change is probably the rough wind and sandy climate in Youzhou, which left some marks on their faces.In addition, the years did not add wrinkles, but the demeanor of the two of them has changed, and the military spirit has become stronger, especially Xu Jie, although he is not in good health, he will not go to the battlefield to train on weekdays.But she looks like a Confucian general, with both civil and military skills.And Li Jinyue's majesty has become even more serious. After so many years in Youzhou, she has managed a very good situation. Right now, the three towns of Heshuo are under her control. Datang has nearly half of the military power, and she wants to listen to her Commanding.

The one who has changed the most is Yang Yuhuan.This impression stays at an 11-year-old girl, but now she has grown into a big girl. A 15-year-old girl has passed her age and is at the age for marriage.Over the years following Li Jinyue in the barracks, she has been tempered. The delicate aura of her body is almost invisible, but she has a heroic air in every gesture, and her demeanor is more stable.

It's just these subtle temperament changes that need careful observation to see.Yang Yuhuan's beauty can cover up almost everything.When she was a girl, she was already beautiful. Now at the age of 15, she is like a peony in full bloom for a moment.Her figure became taller and more graceful, and her slightly plump cheeks became thinner, which further highlighted the delicate and lovely features of her features.She looks like this without makeup, it's hard to imagine how beautiful she would be dressed up.The natural body fragrance on her body became more and more seductive. As soon as Shen Sui entered the carriage, this body fragrance permeated his heart and made him feel comfortable all over.

Watching Shen Sui come in, Yang Yuhuan was the first to say hello. It's not easy to salute in the car, so she just raised her hand and said:

"Mr. Shen, I haven't seen you for a long time." Her voice has also matured, and it is no longer the tone of a girl from before. When she speaks, there is an indescribably attractive beauty.

"Yuhuan has grown up, it's really a girl's eighteenth change." Shen Sui laughed.

"You man, why don't you salute the lord when you come in, but always look at others." Shen Sui was saying hello, when Li Jinyue at the other end spoke, half joking and half serious.

The smile on the corner of Shen Sui's mouth was somewhat meaningful, and Yang Yuhuan inexplicably felt his face was hot, and turned his head to look out the car window.

"Yes, yes, I'm sorry. I, Shen Sui, pay my respects to Your Excellency Princess Jin." Shen Sui hurriedly saluted exaggeratedly.

"Come on!" Li Jinyue patted her with a smile and cursed, then pulled her to sit beside her.

"Yu Jie, it's been a long time." Shen Sui greeted Xu Jie again.

"It's been a long time since Bozhao, let's drink together tonight." Xu Jie smiled at Li Jinyue across from her, making a gesture of drinking.

"Bo Zhao, I think you're feeling a bit reluctant to leave in Jinling these days." Li Jinyue continued to tease Shen Sui.

"Why don't I miss Shu, I miss you every day." Shen Sui smelled Li Jinyue and was merciless.

"Honestly, how are Maiden Lian and Huang'er?" Li Jinyue decided not to quarrel with her, since she couldn't fight anyway.

"It's all good. I just arrived in Chang'an and I'm resting at home." Shen Sui said with a smile.

"Oh, in a blink of an eye, Huang'er is four years old, and we are all old." Xu Jie sighed.

"Nonsense, I was praised by Dr. Tea for my youth today, saying that I look like I just reached the crown." Shen Sui said.

"Really? Then we are the same." Li Jinyue said shamelessly.

"You..." Shen Sui glanced at her, and then said wickedly, "Let Yuhuan evaluate, does the princess look young? Does she look like she just reached the crown?"

"Ah!" Li Jinyue hurriedly grabbed Shen Sui, looking a little flustered.

Yang Yuhuan pursed her lips and suppressed a smile, and finally said with dignity: "Of course you are young, and you look like you have just reached the age of [-]."

Shen Sui and Xu Jie laughed out loud, Li Jinyue coughed twice in embarrassment, met Yang Yuhuan's beautiful phoenix eyes inadvertently, and moved away for a moment.Yang Yuhuan had a smile on her face, but the light in her eyes dimmed.

The joke was over, let's get down to business.

"I came back this time mainly for the matter of Concubine Wu Hui." Shen Sui said.

"Well, two months ago, I received an order from the sage to return to the capital in a low-key manner. Concubine Wu Hui is in poor health recently, and I'm afraid time is running out." Li Jinyue said.

"Concubine Wu Hui is critically ill. It has nothing to do with you, but she came back with you, I'm afraid she has other considerations." Shen Sui said.

"Anyway, I won't be allowed to marry again. After all, I have been married to Changxue for more than five years. He can't just say that there is no such marriage."

Xu Jie took over the conversation and said: "Although this is the case, if Concubine Wu Hui is gone, the situation in the court and the public may change again. It involves the battle for the throne between King Shou and King Zhong. King Shou has no mother concubine, I'm afraid It's because the power is weak, and Jinyue was called back, probably to check and balance the loyal king."

"Yu Jie's words are reasonable." Shen Sui said, "This is the biggest reason."

Li Jinyue nodded: "I saved it. When I come back this time, I am also well prepared for this."

"Brother Changxue didn't come to Chang'an with you?" Shen Sui asked, she only had a brief letter with Li Jinyue before, and the letter did not mention Li Changxue's arrangements, so she asked this question.

"No, I asked him to stay in Youzhou and take care of the political situation in Youzhou for me." Li Jinyue said with a smile, "Don't think that our marriage is a political marriage, but now we are comrades-in-arms in the united front. It seems far-fetched, but in fact, things are quite reliable. I am relieved to have him in Youzhou. Besides, Yuchi also stayed in Youzhou, and she is in charge of the military affairs. I only brought Cheng Yan back this time. .”

Cheng Yi was at the head of the team leading the team forward, and Shen Sui had just met her face to face.She laughed:

"It seems that you and Changxue get along well." Speaking of Li Changxue, Shen Sui always remembered that when he was in Youzhou, because he was drugged by his mother-in-law, Li Changxue almost did something wrong with Zhang Ruohan, and then he was kicked by himself thing.The displeasure and anger at that time have long since disappeared, and I feel a little guilty in retrospect. After all, for Li Changxue, this was an innocent disaster, and the culprit was actually himself and others.

"Hahaha, we often drink together, he is a very interesting person." Li Jinyue has a very generous attitude, and it can be seen that she has never been emotional with Li Changxue.Of course, Shen Sui had already expected this point, Li Jinyue might not like any man in his life.

She also quietly forgot to take a look at Yang Yuhuan. Seeing that the girl seemed to be looking at the street scene outside the car window, but was actually listening with her ears up, she couldn't help but feel a little helpless and funny.

"Bo Zhao, what about you? The sage asked you to inspect various places and wipe out cults. You have been away for so many years, but he hasn't called you back yet?" Li Jinyue and Xu Jie didn't know much about this point, and Shen Sui had never written a letter. mentioned.

"The sage didn't ask too much. He has a lot of things going on every day, and the cult may have been forgotten by him. But Dali Temple issued an order today, so I returned to Chang'an in advance. I just arrived yesterday, and I went to Dali Temple to return to my order." Shen Sui replied.

"Oh? How about your grandfather?"

"I haven't had time to visit him yet. He is very old. He has not been in good health for the past few years. He has been recuperating at home. The affairs of Dali Temple are all handled by Ming Shaoqing. Sigh... I plan to take a look tomorrow. Him." Shen Sui said, with a very apologetic tone in his tone.

"Well, I have to go to the palace tomorrow morning to meet the saint. If you are free in the afternoon, come to my house. I would like to hear you explain in detail about your stay in the desert four years ago." Although Shen Sui was there The letter briefly described what happened in the desert, but Li Jinyue was not very clear about many details.

"Okay. At that time, I will bring Maid Lotus and Huang'er along." Shen Sui replied.

The author has something to say: in the last volume, Chapter 1, the grown-up Huanhuan debuts.
