Tang Xuan

Laba is Mingda's birthday, not only Emperor Guangming, but all honorable ministers in Huaqing Palace prepared generous gifts in advance and sent them to Chongming Pavilion.

At noon that day, Emperor Ming held a banquet to celebrate Ming Da's birthday grandly. The turmoil in Chang'an City seemed to have passed away, and he didn't take it to heart at all.

"Now that he's [-] years old, the longer he looks, the more he looks like it." Minghuang pulled Mingda to sit with him, stroked his daughter's forehead, his face was full of love, thinking of his wife who had passed away for many years, for a while, there was a mixture of grief and joy, and tears flowed unceasingly. Live in the eyes.

Ming Da raised his head and said, "Daddy, aren't you happy that your daughter has grown up?"

Emperor Ming was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Happy! It's too late to be happy. Maybe my grandson will be born next year!"

The speaker had no intention of listening, and the listener was interested. Lang Huai was in the first row on the left hand side of the hall, his brows raised slightly, and he put a bamboo shoot in his mouth with a jade chopstick, with a calm expression on his face.

Mingda twitched and said: "No! If you like children, you will love the children of the eldest brother and sixth brother as much as you like. Don't count on me!"

Ming Huang was amused by her cuteness, pinched her nose and said: "You don't want it? You have to take into account the frailty of the Lang family." Speaking of the Lang family, he suddenly remembered Lang Shi who said before his new life that he did not expect There was also a nerd in the family, so he asked, "Lang Huai, how is your concubine brother?"

Lang Huai hurriedly stood up and said: "Return to Your Majesty, Lang Heng has studied hard and won the exam. Enke wants to be a Jinshi next year, but he is very ambitious. As a brother, I will naturally support it with all my strength. Now my family has invited several masters , teach him well in the other courtyard, and hope that he can pass the exam, with all the teachings of his father when he was alive."

Emperor Ming nodded and said: "Want to take the Jinshi exam? I remember that he is only about ten years old? He is really ambitious. I will wait in the Hanyuan Hall next year to see if you are born in the Lang family. Will you come out again?" Let him come.” The imperial examinations in the Tang Dynasty consisted of three categories: Mingjing, Jinshi, and Wuju.But what Emperor Ming said today, he is going to have a palace examination in the spring next year.

Lang Huai said with a smile: "Your Majesty, he is only thirteen years old, not to mention that the filial piety period is still there, and he is not in a hurry to work hard in the past few years. He has to grow up and make a fortune, and then he will not let down the marriage. Someone else's daughter."

"It's clear and right, but the descendant of the Lang family is with you." Emperor Ming stroked Mingda's little hand, and said, "I'm just waiting for this grandson."

While speaking, Li Yuan rushed in from outside the hall, without any scruples about etiquette, and rushed straight to the dragon chair.Seeing Mingda next to Emperor Ming, he was very unhappy.His small face tilted, and he snorted, "Father, who is she? Why is she here?"

Emperor Ming was originally happy, but when he was questioned by Li Yuan, he immediately pulled his face, and said, "My beloved concubine is well educated, why are you so stubborn? This is your sister, why is she not her!"

"But there are no other princesses in the palace? Father, you lied to me!" Li Yuan was not convinced, he was too smart at such a young age, and said in a childlike voice in court: "Uncle said, I will be the king in the future, she What status, how can I be my sister?"

Liang Qinfang, who was sitting next to Li Qian, only felt a chill coming from behind her back, and secretly scolded Li Yuan for having such a good memory, and only remembered a sentence occasionally.He racked his brains thinking how to deal with it, but seeing Emperor Ming squinting his eyes, looking at the courtiers present in the palace lightly, he sneered.

Li Yuan was so frightened by him that he was about to cry when his mouth was crooked.Concubine Liang Gui stood up, without saying a word, picked up her son and turned to leave.She is too clever, but she is also mistaken by cleverness.And Minghuang took Mingda's hand to stand up, and took two steps forward.

The officials immediately knelt down, and Liang Qinfang walked to the hall on his knees, saying: "The crime of the minister! The minister speaks nonsense, please forgive me! The imperial concubine and empress serve you wholeheartedly, and neglect discipline for a while, please forgive me!"

Lang Huai also said: "Your Majesty, children's words are not taboo, not to mention that what your highness said is the truth. I have always been upset about such things. Besides, although my wife is a commoner, I cherish her. The rest is nothing but floating dust, if such gossip is all about worrying about everything, how can I live a peaceful life?" She clearly comforted, but in fact every sentence concealed a mystery, and Liang Qinfang quarreled with Liang Qinfang, and also used those wind knives and frost swords in the past. Silent accusation.

Emperor Ming held Mingda's little hand, looked into her eyes, only love and guilt, and only heard him say: "The people in the Palace of Longevity today are either my sons and juniors, or my close ministers. Then you all I know why I and my beloved wife love Princess Changle the most, and they have long since removed the clan name from the ancestral certificate, except for the title. Now she is only Mingda, my youngest daughter, the youngest daughter of my beloved wife and I." These few words are so important. Seriously, even now that Concubine Liang is so favored, it's nothing more than a word of love for the concubine.

"Lang Huai, you have done a good job." Emperor Ming looked at Lang Huai who was kneeling in the hall, and suddenly said coldly, "Liang Qinfang will be punished for one year's salary for misconduct."

Liang Qinfang hurriedly kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty is guilty! Thank you for punishing me." By beating all the ministers this time, Emperor Ming also told the world that Concubine Liang is favored again, but she is a concubine, not a queen.As for Emperor Ming's empress, there is only the deceased Empress Jiang.

"From now on, you are not allowed to get close to Xi Nu without reason." Emperor Ming continued: "Xi Nu is early wisdom, I like it very much. When I return to Chang'an, I will ask the crown prince to teach in the East Palace, so as not to go astray." He seemed to glance at it while speaking. Li Qian, who was kneeling, spoke to Mingda in a low voice, then let go of his hand, and left with Lu Youlin's support.

The ministers were almost scattered, and only Lang Huaimingda and Li Qian were left in the hall.Li Qian was being served by the inner eunuch in a cloak, with a calm expression on his face, as if he didn't care that Emperor Ming was wearing away the power he had accumulated over the years.

Lang Huai put the peacock-feather cloak on Mingda with his own hands, and pulled the hood up.The two turned around and walked out together, inevitably meeting Li Qian at the door.

"Mu Gong is good at tricks. He took the Ministry of War without bloodshed. Mrs. Pei has to watch your face to breathe. The way forward depends entirely on Mu Gong." Li Qian's face was full of spring, but his words were resentful. You can't catch up with me with one move, you are very upset, right?"

Lang Huai only paused for half a step, and said with a smile: "It's still the same sentence, if Your Highness stops, I will stop. I am the best at hunting bears, will Your Highness come to your door?" After she finished speaking, she left hand in hand with Ming Da .

Li Qian remembered that when he was hunting in winter, a cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes, which made the little inner eunuch tremble and knocked his hat crookedly.

"Your Highness, forgive me!" The little eunuch knew that his master was really moody, so he knelt down and kowtowed vigorously.

Li Qian stretched out his hand to straighten him up, and said in distaste: "Get up, go back and find the housekeeper for punishment. Why are you being an eyesore outside?"

Who is in the mood for a war of words?Today is not only Ming Da's birthday, but also the day when they got married last year.The two held hands and walked back slowly. No matter how beautiful the mountains of Huaqing Palace are, they are not as good-looking as the people in front of them.

Back at Chongming Pavilion, Lan Jun and the others really cleaned up Antique Xun.Pour strong wine according to the eating method learned in Yizhou, open the lid of the pot, and the aroma filled the hall immediately.

Mr. Zhu pulled the two of them to sit at the main seat, knelt down side by side with Mr. Li'erlan and Mr. Tao Jun, and said together: "I wish the girl a happy birthday! A few of us joined together, and the courtesy is light and the affection is heavy. Please eat and drink as you please!" She took the brocade box from Li'er again, and said with a smile, "This is the purse brocade handkerchief we embroidered together. Little Tao was too clumsy to prepare it. The girl uses it every day, so don't dislike our rough workmanship." .” Her mind is the simplest, Mingda is fond of Lang, she will not hold grudges.

Mingda hurriedly pulled a few people up, smiled broadly, and said, "Why do you dislike it? Li'er's embroidery is rough, and Mrs. Zhu's sister's pair of skillful hands, don't you think I don't know? We have the final say in our own home! Don't behave Come to the rules, let's have fun eating together!"

In this family, Mingda's words are the most important, and the four of them agreed, and sat around the Eight Immortals' table as master and servant. They didn't pay attention to the rules, punched and ate wine in a lively manner, and joined forces to deal with Lang Huai, making her lose the most.However, she was the one who drank the most, Tao Jun and the others drank down one by one, and she was the one who was still sober.

The hall was very warm, Lang Huai helped the drunken people to lie on the bed in the side hall, and helped Tao Jun to send him to the soft bed, fetched the quilts and covered them, and then went back to take care of Mingda.

Mingda wins the most, drinks the least, but is slightly tipsy, holding Firefox and babbling about something.Poor Firefox was so sleepy that he couldn't keep his eyes open, so he just fell asleep like that, and the pot broke.When Lang Huai approached, he could hear the little guy's snoring.

She shook her head, hugged Mingda, and said softly: "Let her go, I'll make trouble for you."

Mingda really let go of the Firefox, let it fall on the table, then hugged Lang Huai, bit her ear, and said: "I was thinking just now, if I knew you were a woman, I wouldn't worry about what you would do every day. looking at you."

Lang Huai said as he walked, "Hey, aren't you afraid of tarnishing your reputation?"

"Anyway, if I want to marry you, I will only end up with Mu Gonglang who is unruly by nature, and he has torn up with the girl before marriage." Mingda was very proud, and continued: "Who doesn't have eyes and dares to chew my tongue? impatient!"

While speaking, he had already entered the bedroom, Lang Huai tapped his toes, and knocked on the door, using just the right force, and the lock was locked precisely.

Before the candles were off, Lang Huai saw that she had already shown her style, so he suppressed himself and asked, "Your Majesty and Seventh Brother have given you gifts, but I haven't given them to you yet. Tell me, what do you want?"

Under the soft brocade quilt, Mingda raised his head, stretched out his hand to caress Lang Huai's cheek, saw the unbridled affection for her in her eyes, and suddenly leaned over to kiss her, intimate and lingering, unwilling to leave.

Suddenly Mingda turned over vigorously and sat on Lang Huai's waist.She pinched Lang Huai's belt buckle cunningly, and said: "You pay me a bridal chamber, that's the best gift." Her silky hands slipped into Lang Huai's clothes, and she couldn't help but kiss into a ball.

Being turned into a red wave, he stayed up all night.

The New Year's Eve is approaching, and good news comes from the place where King Huai stayed - the side concubine gave birth to a baby boy on the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month.This matter dilutes Li Qian's bitterness towards the Pei family of the Ministry of War. After all, he has always been childless, and now he finally has a son. For him, it is quite exciting.

Li Qian hugged his son who was just born and was still in his infancy. After a long time of bewilderment, he personally wrote a request, hoping that Emperor Ming would allow him to name the child Hang.

After the letter was delivered, Lu Youlin read it to Emperor Ming, and said with a smile: "His Highness Duke Huai chose this name, which is very catchy. But this old slave is only literate, so he doesn't understand the meaning. What did your majesty tell this old slave?"

Emperor Ming plucked the strings of the qin, and spat: "Shuowen has something to say, Hang, Fang Zhou also. This child is begging me." He put down the pipa, thought for a long time, and said: "Draft the decree, and play it." Li Qian hoped that he could overcome the difficulties in front of him, so he expressed his state of mind to Emperor Ming in this way.And there are words in the letter, regretting the obsession with fighting in the past, and after becoming a father, I hope that my children will be safe.

As a father, how can you not want your children to be safe?

After all, Emperor Ming was getting old and softened his heart. Using Li Hang's excuse, he promised him to withdraw from the court slowly.Lu Youlin responded, and went to write the imperial decree and showed it to Emperor Ming, and then sent it in person with a seal, entrusting Li Hang to carry it to the palace on the day of the full moon.

In another two days, Li Jin rushed to Huaqing Palace in a hurry.

Cross Wangxian Bridge, enter Jinyang Gate, and walk all the way to the outside of the Hall of Eternal Life.The Huaqing Palace is full of mountains and hills, and it is prosperous and magnificent. For this prince who has experienced many ups and downs in just three years, it is already a passing cloud.

Li Jin was dressed in old clothes, with a short beard on his chin, waiting outside the hall to be called.Not long after, the door of the hall opened wide, and the inner eunuch said at the top of his voice, "Xuan, the sixth son of the emperor, Li Jinjin enters the hall!"

He strode in with his head held high and his chest held high, without looking sideways all the way, he went to the hall and knelt down, and said in a loud voice: "I bow to my father, long live my father!"

A year of military service in Lingnan made the sixth master stronger and more sensitive.Emperor Ming liked it very much, and said: "Get up." As soon as he finished speaking, Li Qian stood up and helped Li Jin stand up, and said: "The prodigal son will not change his money when he turns back, and the sixth brother has repented. My son thanked the emperor on his behalf. Grace! The father is broad-minded, even the Qin emperor and the Han Dynasty can't match it, and the son always thinks about it, and only admires it."

Emperor Ming felt relieved, and said: "You are so sensible, I feel much more relieved. I knew that I should pass the decree to let that bastard Yu'er come back."

Ming Da glanced at Lang Huai, and said: "Then Daddy has issued an order to let Seventh Brother come back, and it will still be in time for your Qianqiu Festival!"

Emperor Ming was stunned, laughed loudly, and said: "Ming Da is right, our family should also be reunited! We have neighbors, quickly order a banquet! Come in, sit by my side!"

The author has something to say: come, come, come, as a time when the information is bursting, the code word gentleman will sort it out, mainly because I am afraid that I will forget it.

Emperor Ming is suppressing Li Qian, from the harem to the court, this kind of pressure is very subtle, but it works.Earlier, Dongshou wanted Li Qian to accompany him, but he didn't let Lang Huai accompany him. The meaning is obvious. Lang Huai was tossing around in Chang'an City, so Lang Huai was naturally asked to clean up the military department.Through the banquet, for the first time in so many years, Emperor Ming told his ministers that Jiang Hou was still his favorite in his heart, no matter how much he loved Concubine Liang, no matter how much he loved Li Yuan, he could not match Jiang Hou's understanding, the subtext That is, Li Xun's position is very stable.Li Qian understood, so he shrunk again, and took advantage of the birth of his son to analyze his heart with Emperor Ming and play the family card.

But Li Xun still resented the loss of the Ministry of War.So when Li Jin came back, he deliberately wooed him.Although he was the one who provoked Li Jin to go mad at the beginning, he didn't say it clearly, it was all in the way of Run Wusheng, besides, it was Lang Huai who arrested Li Jin.Li Qian thought that Li Jin hated Lang Huai even more.

Lang Shi talked with Lang Huai before he was born again, Liu Ye is a fool, and he is a fool who will turn against him at any time, reminding Lang Huai not to take it lightly.Lang Huai is Li Xun's most powerful sect, jumping off the stage to fight Li Qian, it's a bit stupid, but Li Xun has no choice.

Then, in the bridal chamber a year later, we all know what to do and what not to do, and everything is done.Congratulations to Mr. Mu~
