The cold wind is bitter, drying up worries, and in a blink of an eye, the winter solstice has arrived.

After Li Linfu's death, the court seemed to be much calmer.

The emperor only wanted peace and quiet in the world, and he personally inspected the treasury and saw that there was plenty of wealth. He was filled with ambition and arrogance. He regarded gold and silk as dirt, and the rewards were unlimited. All government affairs were entrusted to Yang Guozhong.

Since there was nothing going on in the court, the emperor, who had originally decided to spend the winter in Huaqing Palace, might as well enjoy himself in peace.

Concubine Yang was still bored in the palace all day long, so she mentioned the interesting Li Jiuzhou, and then the emperor remembered him and summoned him into the palace.

Li Jiuzhou was also trying to find a way to enter the palace, but this saved him a lot of trouble.

"Okay, okay, it's really wonderful."

In the opera garden, the emperor and his concubine sat side by side, looking at the actors on the stage and applauding them.

"Sage, Li Jiuzhou is here." Gao Lishi reminded him softly in his ear.

The emperor still stared at the stage intently and said: "Quickly pass him in."

He was watching so intently that he didn't even notice Li Jiuzhou's salute.

"I wonder why the saint called me?" Li Jiuzhou asked loudly.

This startled Gao Lishi, who turned around and rolled his eyes at him.

The emperor still didn't look at him, "How do you like the performance on the stage?"

What was playing on the stage was "The Song of Colorful Clothes and Feather Clothes". Li Jiuzhou didn't appreciate it very much and said, "I don't understand this kind of thing."

The emperor was a little disappointed and turned to look at him, "I heard from the noble concubine that you can do magic tricks. Why didn't I see you here before?"

Li Jiuzhou glanced at Concubine Yang and saw her looking at him with a slight smile. He expected that he was talking about the little magic trick of changing flowers last time, so he felt a little timid. How could such tricks to coax children be on the stage?

"I……"

Seeing his hesitation, the emperor said: "If you have anything new, come and see."

It seems that the emperor is tired of these gadgets in the palace, but he doesn't know any novel gadgets. Li Jiuzhou rolled his eyes and said: "Speaking of novelties, I heard that Zhen Luo is an expert in the world. I have seen him before, and his methods are quite good."

It was so profound that it opened my eyes, but now that I think about it, I still have more to say.”

Concubine Yang said with an angry smile: "Li Qing is really cunning. I asked you to perform, but why did you push it to Zhenren Luo?"

Li Jiuzhou was embarrassed by what she said and hurriedly leaned over and said: "How dare I compare with Zhenren Luo? The saint and the noble concubine want to see something new. Of course Zhenren Luo's is better-looking, so please don't blame me, concubine."

Concubine Yang just made a joke with him, glanced at him with a flirtatious look, smiled, and said: "I am the only one who likes to see those tricks of yours. The saint naturally likes to see Zhenren Luo's profound Taoism."

What they said also reminded the emperor that he wanted to see the profound Taoism more and more, so he ordered someone to summon Luo Gongyuan.

I don't know whether Luo Gongyuan lived far away or had some inconvenience. He didn't come to see him until dark.

When meeting him, the emperor did not blame him, but first asked about the method of immortality.

Luo Gongyuan said: "There is no way to live forever. As long as you keep your mind pure and have few desires, you can avoid illness and prolong your life."

Seeing that he spoke reluctantly, the emperor was a little unhappy and said: "I heard that Mr. Tongxuan left the capital and traveled far away in the air. It was very strange. Does Mr. Luo have such a magic?"

Luo Gongyuan stood up straight and waved his sleeves gently, "This is not difficult."

When the emperor heard this, he was overjoyed. He looked up and saw the bright moonlight, and asked hurriedly: "Even so, I once dreamed about the moon palace in the past. Can Master Luo let me see it with my own eyes?"

Luo Gongyuan nodded, walked to the side and broke off a few branches, tied them with colorful threads, placed them in the courtyard, and blew a breath.

After a while, the tree branches turned into a colorful tree. Luo Gongyuan asked the emperor to sit down and go to watch the moon.

Gao Lishi kowtowed and began to play: "I am willing to accompany you."

When Concubine Yang saw it, she also found it strange and said, "I am also willing to go with you."

Li Jiuzhou knew it was an illusion, so he didn't take it to heart.

But Luo Gongyuan said: "The Moon Palace is no better than other places, I am the only one who can protect it!"

After saying that, he shouted: "Get up!"

I saw the caiyu soaring into the sky, straight into the sky.

Luo Gongyuan rode with him and asked the emperor to only look at the moon, not to look back or look at anyone else.

Li Jiuzhou, Yang Guifei, and Gao Lishi were all stunned, but Caiyu gradually moved away and could not see anything.

Is there really such a powerful illusion in the world? Li Jiuzhou thought to himself, the most bizarre magic he has ever seen cannot compare to this.

On the emperor's side, he had already seen the Moon Palace in a short while, and only heard a loud music sound in the distance, but it was "The Song of Colorful Clothes and Feather Clothes".

When I looked carefully, I was already in the pear garden, and the song "Nancy Clothes and Feather Clothes" was coming from the stage.

The emperor glanced at the astonished eyes of Li Jiuzhou, Yang Guifei, and Gao Lishi, then turned to Luo Gongyuan and sighed softly: "The world calls the beautiful woman, who must be compared to Chang'e in the moon. Can you let me see her beauty?"

Luo Gongyuan replied calmly: "Don't have any disrespectful thoughts."

The emperor was surprised and happy, but he still had not finished his thoughts. He just sat alone and thought about it, clicking his tongue in wonder.

Li Jiuzhou thought for a while and then added: "Zhen Luo's illusion is very clever. A saint must not take it too seriously."

The emperor asked Luo Gongyuan: "What Luo Zhenren used just now was an illusion?"

Luo Gongyuan only stroked his beard and smiled, but did not answer.

The emperor sighed and said: "Even if it is an illusion, it is very gratifying."

Li Jiuzhou saw that the time had come, so he said: "I heard that the Sanqing audience needs someone to host it. Sanqing Temple is a place where immortals are enshrined. It is better to find an expert to live in the temple and host it."

The emperor thought for a moment and said, "You are right."

Li Jiuzhou took advantage of the situation and said: "I have always heard that if a woman's Yin energy appears in a Taoist temple, it will be detrimental to the Taoist temple."

After saying that, he glanced at Luo Gongyuan and said, "Master Luo should know this."

Luo Gongyuan was an expert and had already guessed what his little plan was. He smiled and agreed, "Not bad."

When the emperor heard this, he hesitated for a moment and then said: "I originally wanted to let Lady Chong take charge of the Sanqing Temple. From this point of view, it is very inappropriate, so let her go back."

Seeing that his goal was achieved, Li Chongniang did not have to go to the palace to guard the Taoist temple with such ease. Li Jiuzhou was overjoyed and said in greeting: "The saint has a clear lesson."

Concubine Yang was not going to let him go and said, "When will Li Qing show me his tricks?"

Li Jiuzhou didn't know how to answer and glanced at the emperor.

When the emperor saw Luo Gongyuan's Taoism, Li Jiuzhou's little tricks could not catch his eye, not to mention that Li Jiuzhou didn't know how to do any tricks. Concubine Yang knew that he was in trouble, so she faced the emperor and said: "I think Li Qing has changed before."

The tricks I watched were very interesting, so why don't you leave them in the Huaqing Palace and teach me."

The emperor always followed her, so he didn't take it seriously and agreed: "Since the imperial concubine wants to learn, Li Qing will stay in the palace and teach the imperial concubine with all his heart."

Although Li Jiuzhou was very happy, he was a little shy. His face turned red and he replied: "The saint has a destiny, and it is my luck that the noble concubine shows her love. I will obey the order."

Concubine Yang secretly looked at him, feeling very proud in her heart.
