prosperous Tang Dynasty

"Lin Zhi, go arrange the carriages and horses. Today I'm going out for an outing with the princess."

"But Mr. Lang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent someone a few days ago to ask Mr. Lang and the princess to have dinner together in the palace."

"It's okay, the princess has sent someone to delay it for two days, you can do it."

"Yes."

At this time, there are beautiful mountains and clear waters outside Chang'an City, and the grass grows and warblers fly.

The destination of this trip is Baqiao. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Qin Mugong dominated Xirong, changed Zishui to Bashui and built a bridge, so it was called "Baqiao".The Baqiao is the key point of Chang'an, and anyone who enters and exits from the west and the east must pass through the two passes.

"It hurts every year, the Baqiao wind and snow. If I knew I should come here to see the wind and snow, it must have a special flavor." Yang Qihan felt a little pity in his heart, why didn't he come here for the first two months.The Baqiao wind and snow in the Eight Scenic Spots of Guanzhong, the strong wind blows, and the catkins are flying all over the sky, just like the snow in the middle of winter.

"Qingluan, let's come and see the snow on the Baqiao after winter comes." Yang Qihan and Li Si walked side by side on the Baqiao, watching the people in the distance fold willows and give them to each other.There is a post station by the side of the Baqiao bridge, where wanderers and close friends who have been seeing off have always lived. They will stay here for one night, drink and say goodbye, and send them to the bridge the next day.

Lin Zhi has already taken care of it step by step, and the two masters can just go back to their room to rest when the time comes.

When the two woke up from their afternoon nap, Yang Qihan and Li Si both abandoned the carriage and rode their horses towards the southeast direction until the end, where was Qujiang Pond.

There is an apricot orchard in Qujiang Pool, the most famous one here is the Banquet of Flowers.

The Apricot Garden is located on the west side of Qujiang Pond, facing the Daci'en Temple from north to south, so there are many apricot trees planted there, hence the name Xingyuan.It's just that Yang Qihan and Li Silai's timing was wrong this time. When the apricot blossoms bloom in spring, they are as bright as clouds, which is the most wonderful part of the Qujiang scenery.

As for the origin of the banquet, it is because the imperial examination scholars were admitted to Jinshi, so the banquet was held here.

In the beginning, the flower-exploring banquet did not refer to No.3 on the Jinshi list, but everyone selected the most handsome men from the Xinke Jinshi, called the two-street flower-exploring envoys, and asked them to ride around the famous gardens near Qujiang or around Chang’an. , picking all kinds of early spring flowers, especially the peonies and peonies are the best. If someone picks them back earlier, the flower hunter will be punished.

At the Xingyuan Banquet, many singers participated in the fun, gatherings of talented scholars and beautiful women, and romantic affairs, which made the new science and scholars have infinite glory.

Those who have children in the family who take part in the imperial examination will bring their children to Xingyuan to eat something a few days ago, feeling happy.

"Qi Han also wants to participate in the next year's Spring Festival?"

"Why do you think so?" Yang Qihan never thought of competing for a seat with thousands of scholars. Besides, she already has an official position now. Although it is a false position, if she still participates in the imperial examination, it will be justified.

After the two had their meal in the apricot garden, they got up and went back to the mansion. Because Li Si wore a red gauze every day, everyone in the princess mansion also knew that the princess was very satisfied with this son-in-law, and they also followed Yang Qihan's figure when purchasing things. I bought several clothes, so as not to let her walk back and forth and waste time.

When the two came out of the bath and were chatting in the bedroom, Mei Lan came in and reported that there were guests in the Yang residence, and asked Yang Qihan to come and meet them.

"Qingluan, I'll go and have a look."

"Ah."

Yang Qihan went over to take a look, and saw Liu Jun sitting there waving a folding fan and drinking the freshly served tea.

"How did you come?"

"I heard that you went out with the princess for an outing?" Liu Jun gave Yang Qihan a helpless look, trembling in his heart, and this guy arranged for him again. "I'm here to send you an invitation, so remember to be on time."

"I've always been punctual." Yang Qihan received the invitation, opened it and found that he was the only one invited, "This..."

"Don't worry." Liu Jun sighed lightly and said with a smile, "Women's family members from various prefectures are also invited."

"I also understand." Yang Qihan handed over the post to Lin Zhi for preservation, while she herself sat in the empty seat next to Liu Jun, looking at Liu Jun who was drinking tea, "You personally come to deliver the post, now This banquet is very important."

Liu Jun didn't understand, so he nodded, "This is what my father meant, and he said it was a big deal."

Liu Jun didn't stay here for too long with Yang Qihan, he had a lot of invitations to send today, most of them were the sons and grandsons of the court ministers, and to show respect, he couldn't come to people's house when they were eating.

Yang Qihan also understood this reason, and after personally sending Liu Jun out, he went straight to the Princess Mansion.

When Yang Qihan arrived at the dormitory, the father-in-law who stayed there said that there were guests in the mansion, and Li Si was meeting them at this time.

"Who is the visitor?"

"Back to the son-in-law, the guest is the wife of Shang Shu Zuo Pushe and the prince's guest Liu Rengui."

When Yang Qihan heard this, he had some ideas in his heart, what is the purpose of the Liu family's banqueting the Chang'an officials.

When Li Si and Mrs. Liu came back from the meeting, Yang Qihan let them go down and poured tea for Li Si, "What is the purpose of Liu Shangshu's left servant feasting on the children of the court?"

"It's just that I heard that Aye intends to choose a princess for the sixth brother. I'm afraid I'm waiting to see who is suitable for each wife." Li Si sighed lightly, and then thought that Li Xian was about the same age, "The seventh brother is only about the same age as the sixth brother." Years old, Aye and A Niang thought it would be appropriate to take advantage of this banquet to see the ladies from various prefectures."

"That makes sense." Yang Qihan thought about it carefully, and there was nothing wrong with it, "Qingluan must have guarded the younger brothers in the past?"

"Well, I heard from Mrs. Liu that she also invited my sister-in-law to go there, but Brother Wu is not feeling well recently, so I'm afraid he won't be able to come out."

"Fifth brother's health is important." Yang Qihan felt a little unbearable when he thought of the prince Li Hong who was known for his benevolence and righteousness. It will also die under other poisons. "Qingluan, did Doctor Sun see Fifth Brother's body?"

"Of course I did, it's just that Dr. Sun and the imperial physician said the same thing, let Fifth Brother have a good rest."

Yang Qihan pursed his lips. It is true that Sun Simiao asked Li Hong to recuperate quietly. As long as he takes good care of him, he can live for three to five years.If I remember correctly, Li Hong's condition worsened because Li Zhi wanted to abdicate.

On the night of her wedding, Yang Qihan said that she knew some strange things, but she never mentioned that what she knew was hundreds of years later, if she brought it up now, she would naturally ask about it according to Li Si's temperament , when she knew it was a matter of the future, she would definitely ask her relatives about the future.

Is it possible to continue to lie to her?

On the contrary, Yang Qihan was a little reluctant, she was a little unwilling to deceive Li Si.

"Fifth brother's condition is recurring, it should be because of not enough rest."

"As the crown prince, fifth brother has hundreds of memorials to deal with every day, how to rest." Li Si also felt a headache when he mentioned this matter. Aye and elder brother are weak, and most of the government affairs are handed over to the courtiers However, when it comes to military and political affairs, they have to make decisions, and there is no time to rest after going back and forth.

Yang Qihan got up and stood behind Li Si and gently pressed the sun massager for her, trying to get rid of some fatigue.

"Qingluan, let's find a good time to invite Dr. Sun to Chang'an." Seeing Li Si's exhausted face, Yang Qihan felt distressed, "Although there is an imperial doctor in the palace, his medical skills are still lacking compared to Dr. Sun's. We can rest assured that Doctor Sun will diagnose Fifth Brother Aye."

"This is naturally the best." Li Si felt troubled in his heart. At the beginning, Aye personally invited Sun Simiao to become an official in the court, but Sun Simiao didn't want to be an official, but stayed in Chang'an, which made Aye very happy.It's just that Sun Simiao has almost lived in seclusion in recent years. If it weren't for his disciples who were still working in the Imperial Hospital and learned that they hadn't returned to their hometowns, they would have been hard to find.
