Chapter 381: Bend the waist
I am the hero, I will be my destiny. Chapter 381: Because Chai Zhewei and Chai Lingwu have been the companions of the princes. They have not yet finished school. Chai Shao pretended to be a messenger to hide his identity. Naturally, he did not dare to visit his son now. After receiving the map and documents, he said goodbye to Li Yao. Li Yao did not want Chai Shao to attract criticism from the palace, so he called Luo Renjun and ordered him to escort Chai Shao all the way out of the imperial city.
Chai Shao left, Lan Shaoying walked into the study, bit her lips, bowed and asked, "Why don't you teach him a lesson when Chai Shao is so useless?" His words were full of annoyance.
Li Yao took out a golden pot with grass pattern from the ice arc at the corner of the house and smiled slightly, "Alan, come here and have some cold drinks with me."
When Lan Shaoying saw her looking deaf, she said angrily: "No need, you can enjoy it yourself."
After Lan Shaoying said that, she turned around and wanted to leave. As soon as she took two steps, Li Yao had already grabbed her hand and patted the back of her smooth and jade-like back of her hand: "Alan, are you angry with me?"
Lan Shaoying's pretty face turned red, she gently pulled her hand back and said sourly: "It is human nature to have an old thought about him when you are having old thoughts. Moreover, Shaoying is just a female official next to him. How dare she be angry with the noble master? Shaoying just doesn't like his hypocrite's face."
Li Yao said softly: "Chai Shao is not unaware that I am not happy with him. The reason why he came to me so shamelessly is because he understands the future situation and does not want to miss the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make contributions."
When Lan Shaoying heard her describe Chai Shao as "stricken" and her expression slowed down slightly, she still snorted: "Except for us, no one in the world knows that Huo Gong Chai Shao is a greedy general. She also said that he was once a hero and must be a person who values promises and righteousness. I think it's really hateful!"
Li Yao said with a sigh: "In the world, there are countless talented and heroes who claim to be noble and noble, and have nostalgic and free spirited, who have bowed their heads to seek fame for life. As for Chai Shao's actions, they are just a true portrayal of such people."
Lan Shaoying curled her lips and said, "Shaoying thought that he saw that the Lord is in power now, and wanted to use sweet words to attract the Lord's old love to rekindle. If so, I was so nervous myself, but I asked him to hold heavy troops. Is it reliable?"
Li Yao couldn't help laughing and said, "Haha, what is Alan thinking! He and I have already cut off our friendship. Now only with the intersection of interests, there is nothing else. Do you think he is reliable or not?"
Lan Shaoying sighed and said relievedly: "That's true. For Chai Shao, even if the sky falls, he will not sell his own interests."
Li Yao took two silver cups, picked up the gold pot and poured them with juice. He smiled with his eyebrows and eyes and said, "This is a peach cheese made from newly picked peaches in the Forbidden Garden. After drinking it, you will be sure that you will not remember any worries."
When Lan Shaoying saw that she talked about delicious food, she immediately became energetic. She couldn't help but feel a little discouraged and nodded, "Then Shaoying is not polite."
The two of them were drinking each other. Lan Shaoying took a sip and felt a cool air flowing from her throat to her ears. She suddenly shivered. In the hot weather of "Autumn Tiger", drinking a sweet and sour drink was so refreshing.
After drinking the pot, Lan Shaoying looked relaxed and helped Li Yao pack up the cups and left lightly.
Looking at Lan Shaoying's back, Li Yao couldn't help but sigh. Although the wonderful taste of the cold drink was enough to make people happy, it had little effect for herself. She was disturbed by Chai Shao and was not in the mood to deal with government affairs at this moment. She simply took a few memorials as pillows and lay on the floor, and fell asleep for a moment.
I don't know how long it took, but a ringtone suddenly rang outside the door. Li Yao woke up and looked out the window. Seeing the dusk and the sky was dim, he knew why the ringtone came. He walked out of the study and slowly walked to the entrance of the corridor connecting the hall and the study. When the two little eunuchs carrying food boxes saw her coming out, they couldn't help but be stunned. Then one of them asked: "Please ask Rong Xiao, please ask, isn't your master eating in the study tonight?"
Li Yao nodded: "I want to go to Chongyi Pavilion for dinner, you guys come with me." After that, he walked out of the hall gate.
Chongyi Pavilion is the residence of several disciples under Li Yao's sect. At this time, the lights were already on. From a long distance, Li Yao could see the shaking shadows on the window of Chongyi Pavilion. He recognized that it was Xuan Heng and Xuan Ning's figures, and he unconsciously showed a soft smile.
Whenever she approached her two children, Princess Pingyang, the feeling of bloodline connectedness became very strong and made her feel irresistible.
As soon as Li Yao walked to the gate of Chongyi Pavilion, a girl couldn't help but greet her and bowed to her: "My nephew has seen his aunt!"
The girl is about fifteen years old, with a slender figure and a clear appearance. Her pale skin is a little sick. Her hair is simply tied with a bun, and she is paired with her white dress. She looks quite simple. She is the eldest daughter of the former prince Li Jiancheng and Princess Yongning Li Xuanyin.
Li Yao walked to Li Xuanyin's side, reached out to help her up, and said earnestly: "Xuanyin, I have said it several times. Don't call me my aunt, you should call me master."
Li Xuanyin nodded heavily: "Okay, aunt."
When Li Yao heard the word "aunt", he felt a little awkward and couldn't help but pretend to be angry and said, "You are all people who are in the guise, and you are actually as unruly as Xuan Ning."
Li Xuanyin said with a sad look: "When Xuanyin sees his master, she will think of Aye who passed away. She only feels that she will feel better when she calls her master an aunt."
When Li Yao saw her pitiful look, his heart immediately softened: "Okay, you call me aunt, but you can only call her in your usual name, do you understand?"
"I understand, understand."
Li Xuanyin hurriedly took Li Yao's arm and said with a smile: "Xuanyin knew that my aunt, like Ah Niang, was the best person in the world to treat Xuanyin."
While talking and laughing, Yu Xuanwei led other junior brothers and sisters out to pay a visit: "Disciple welcomes Master."
"No gift."
Chai Lingwu straightened up, then stepped forward and grabbed Li Yao's hand: "Why haven't Master come to see us for so long?"
Li Yao explained gently: "There are many state affairs recently, and I can't escape the situation as a teacher."
Afterwards, a group of disciples surrounded Li Yao and walked into Chongyi Pavilion. When they arrived at the kitchen hall, the two eunuchs who accompanied him placed all the food in the food box on the table, and Li Yao then started to eat.
In addition to party banquets, the Tang people also had to pay attention to daily etiquette such as "don't eat". At this time, Li Xuanyin, Yu Xuanwei and others had already used dinner, so they all sat around the table and watched Li Yao eat quietly.
Li Yao moved his chopsticks like flying, eight dishes of meat and vegetables, two bowls of fresh soup, and one pound of corn and rice, which was equivalent to the food for three meals of a young man. In the blink of an eye, he swept it away. Li Yao put down the bowl and chopsticks and caught a glimpse of the disciples looking at the nose and the heart, and hurriedly laughed: "I don't learn this habit of being a teacher."
Yu Xuan twitched the corner of his mouth slightly and waved his hands repeatedly, "We can't learn it without Master's appetite!"
Everyone laughed, and Li Yao couldn't help laughing. After the two eunuchs picked up the food utensils, her eyes flashed and she smiled at Chai Zhewei. Chai Lingwu said, "Xuanheng, Xuanning, I'm here to tell you that your father will return to Beijing tomorrow."
"Really! That's great!"
Chai Lingwu jumped up, but Chai Zhewei sighed like an adult, saying, "I haven't seen my father for two years. I'm happy to hear it today."
When Li Yao heard this, his eyebrows frowned slightly, thinking that her eldest son's speech became more and more literary. This was not a good phenomenon. So he pondered for a moment and said, "When the saint returns, he will go to inspect the border. Then, you will go out with me to have a walk."
