When Princess Taiping saw Li Chongrun's arrival, she smiled very freely. She lost all her harshness and crispness when she dealt with the sissy young man named Lu in Yaoguang Palace the night before. Instead, she returned to the way she did in the basement of Princess Taiping's residence that day.
He looked so close.
"Hey, isn't this our eldest nephew? We haven't seen him for a few days, why is he so taller? Come on, come closer and let me take a closer look."
As early as when he was in the Five Kings Palace, Li Chongrun had heard that his princess aunt was moody. He had never felt like a human being when he saw him several times before. This meeting today made him even more confused.
Some of them moved forward obediently, not daring to look at her. They just lowered their heads and looked at her carefully with their peripheral vision.
"There is news that you used the Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Zhengfa to defeat the thief last night. I didn't expect that you and my aunt are from the same sect. How about we, uncle and nephew, have a competition someday?"
Princess Taiping seemed to be a little drunk, and there was a sense of confusion in her words.
But Li Chongrun liked this feeling very much, and he couldn't help but feel a little closer in his heart.
Putting an extremely professional and well-behaved expression on his face, Li Chongrun said in a serious manner: "Auntie is joking, how does Chongrun know anything about Taoism?"
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Recently, His Majesty is obsessed with the Great Cloud Sutra. If you want to please His Majesty, you should study the Buddhist scriptures carefully. This method of subduing demons and eliminating demons is not necessarily something that only Taoism can do.
means."
Shangguan Wan'er's kind smile on the side did not change, but she secretly mentioned Li Chongrun as if there was something in her words.
Hearing Shangguan Wan'er's words, Li Chongrun understood the words "I don't understand well", but he thought to himself that these nobles in the palace really held the responsibility for the Wuling people's load of explosives.
On the head?
I just don’t know why, when I saw Shangguan Wan’er today, why did my attitude towards him change so drastically from the business-like attitude he had when he took me to the Imperial College a few years ago?
"Chongrun thanks Shangguan Cairen for the advice. When I get back, I will study more diligently in order to make a thorough understanding. The whip will penetrate the heart, the mind will understand and the mind will be harmonious, and the mind will understand..."
"Okay, I don't know who you, this kid, learned from. The one who is older than you in the Five Kings Palace is a stuffy oil bottle, and the other is a Yumugada. How come you are brought out with such a glib tongue and a northern accent?"
When Princess Taiping saw Li Chongrun playing Tai Chi again, she couldn't help but mock him again, but the smile on her face became even more unbearable.
"Back then, although your father was a bit more honest and cowardly, he just stood up for us every time we got into trouble, and the way he denied it when we were punished was just like you."
Shangguan Wan'er casually took the wine glass in front of her from the meandering waterway, took a careful sip, and echoed with a smile.
"Stop being a stick there, do you want to have a drink with aunt?"
"My nephew doesn't dare." He really couldn't figure out what kind of medicine these two people were selling, so Li Chongrun simply pretended to be an honest child all the way.
"Why don't you dare? When you scared my incompetent son, weren't you quite bold?"
Li Chongrun was shocked, thinking that he had never told anyone else about this secret. How did Princess Taiping know about it? She just kept saying: "My cousin is a dignified son of the founding county, and my nephew is a commoner, how dare I
What a heinous thing to do."
"He's becoming more and more like your father. Don't forget what my aunt does. My worthless son is also a loser. He actually went to a brothel with those worthless dudes. He deserves to be scared by you." Princess Taiping was very happy.
He comforted Li Chongrun nonchalantly, and then arranged a sentence: "When I don't wear these clothes, I won't recognize what I said just now. Just pretend that I don't know about this, but remember
Already?"
"My nephew remembers it."
"Well, that's good. Come on, have a drink!"
Having been frightened by Princess Taiping just now, Li Chongrun naturally did not dare to refute and honestly accepted the wine glass handed over by Shangguan Wan'er.
The wine glass is carved from an unknown type of stone. It is white in color but extremely light in hand.
The wine is amber in color and is filled with a rich musk scent mixed with the fragrance of camphor tree blossoms.
As soon as the wine is taken into the mouth, it is not as sour and astringent as the physalis that His Majesty drank in the Five Kings Palace, but the taste is very soft. The taste of the wine is extremely fragrant, and the aroma blooms after entering the mouth, and it goes straight to the sky through the nose, and it seems that there is only one thing left in the world.
Just like this strong aroma.
Unknowingly, a sip of wine slipped down your throat like a thread and disappeared.
"Good wine!" Li Chongrun sighed heavily, thinking that no wonder so many great poets were so addicted to the thing in this cup. If he could drink such high-quality wine every time, I would also like to be one of the eight immortals in that drink.
Individual positions.
"Of course it is good wine." Shangguan Wan'er also took a sip carefully, and the smile on her face disappeared at all: "Lanling County only contributes a total of ten jars a year. If your aunt hadn't taken advantage of the emperor's pleasure today,
, asked for a jar with a shameless face, and even Wan'er only had a drink when His Majesty occasionally rewarded her."
"It turns out to be Lanling fine wine." Li Chongrun took a few sips of wine, his face became more and more rosy, and he muttered: "This fragrance is vaguely similar to a certain medicinal material in the Five Kings Palace."
"It is made by soaking yellow silk turmeric. Drinking this wine in spring is the best way to regulate a woman's body. It can relieve women's retrograde meridians, blood coagulation, and bad blood." Shangguan Wan'er was on the side like a live broadcast.
A general introduction to the effects of wine.
It's just that this function made Li Chongrun, who had been a virgin for two lifetimes, feel very embarrassed. His face became even redder as he was overcome by the alcohol.
Seeing his embarrassment, the two nobles ignored their status and smiled more and more like their little daughter. Even the palace servants who were waiting nervously on the side lowered their heads and turned away very reservedly.
, I guess I was laughing.
After exchanging cups and cups back and forth for a few times, the three people present were vaguely drunk.
"Lanling's fine wine brings tulips, and the jade bowl holds amber light."
"But it makes the host drunk, and the guests don't know where they are."
Princess Taiping seemed to be drunk, and her speech was a little slurred: "I don't know where you are in a foreign country, and you said that the star last night had nothing to do with you. If you hadn't brought the star, how would you know that your home was destroyed?"
"Then the Palace of Five Kings collapsed? It collapsed well, it collapsed well!" Li Chongrun, who had lost his guard due to the alcohol, did not notice that there was a strong sense of disrespect in his words.
Fortunately, several serving palace attendants had already been ordered to leave by Shangguan Wan'er. Otherwise, if the news reached Wu Zetian's ears, I'm afraid it would be very difficult to resolve the matter.
"Auntie has something unclear, and she wants her nephew to clear up the confusion."
"Auntie can ask whatever you want, but if my nephew can answer anything, he will definitely tell you everything he knows."
As if thinking of the sissy young man who said this before, Princess Taiping's face tightened, "You had a chance last night, why didn't you just run away?"
"Escape?" Li Chongrun's eyes became increasingly confused, "Where can I escape?"
Taking a big sip of wine, Li Chongrun muttered to himself: "In the whole world, is it the land of the king? Is it the land of the king? Is it the minister of the king? My nephew's family is here, even if people can escape, their hearts are still there.
What's the use of escaping here."
"I am a madman from Chu. I laugh at Confucius with my phoenix song. Holding a green jade staff, I bid farewell to the Yellow Crane Tower. I will never leave the five mountains to seek immortals. I will spend my life traveling to famous mountains."
"I think I went out once, but I still feel a little wild. I want to go out for fun."
"The water is flowing too fast. The deep palace is full of leisure. I thank the red leaves diligently so that I can go to the human world. The human world is good, unlike this deep palace which is too high and the heights are too cold." Li Chongrun seemed to be drunk and copied some poems.
Messy.
"Do something for aunt, and aunt will let you out."
"Is this true?"
"A gentleman's word!"
"Auntie, you lied to me again. You are obviously a woman, not a gentleman." Li Chongrun stood up unsteadily, but he was very uncomfortable with the smell of alcohol. A breath of alcohol surged up, and he ignored his manners and walked towards the railing of the pavilion.
He lay down and vomited violently.
A pair of hands patted Li Chongrun's back very gently, which relieved the sadness in his stomach. However, his spirit became more and more confused.
I vaguely heard the voice of Princess Taiping: "I am naturally more reliable than those stinky men. If you are free, come and help me! How about it?"
"It's a deal!" These were the last words Li Chongrun said before he passed away drunk. After saying that, he fell into the arms of Shangguan Wan'er who was patting his back behind him.
[Author's digression]: Note: Tulips were introduced to our country in the late Qing Dynasty. The tulip in Li Bai's poem refers to the fragrance of tulip. Tulip is a traditional Chinese medicine, but its main function is to be used as a spice, and
Turmeric is similar in that it is a traditional Chinese medicine. Because of its unique taste, it is used by cooks when cooking. Has this added to the useless trivia?
