The rain washes the spring scenery, and the dragon has been seen in the flat fields.

Sacrifice the fish to the Pu Island, and return geese cross the mountain peaks.

The clouds are light and heavy, and the scenery is light and thick.

As spring comes to February, flowers and shadows are everywhere.

——"Poems on Twenty-Four Qi Qi·In the First Month of Rain" Yuan Zhen [Tang Dynasty]

...

Bai Fu led the Navy to defeat Liu Zhan's rebels, defeated the Japanese pirates, pacified the Jianghuai River, and the news reached Chang'an. The people ran around and told each other, and every household was decorated with lights.

The children of the Qiwang family of the Five surnames were very depressed because this means that Bai Fu would soon return to Beijing, and his days would be gone with a furious horse and a flying eagle and a lackey.

The children of these aristocratic families have restrained their domineering attitude and acted in a low-key manner.

Unlike the folk songs and laughter, and the aristocratic families are closed to thank guests, the Daming Palace never spoke a word and did not comment on this victory, which forced all the civil and military officials of the court to guess Suzong's thoughts.

Yan Zhenqing, Minister of Justice, Liu Yan, Minister of Revenue, and others wrote letters, asking the court to reward Bai Fu and other generals to quell the rebellious generals. These memorials were suppressed by the Secretariat and refused to be submitted.

At the same time, memorials impeached Bai Fu to withhold military pay and exaggerated the results of the war poured into the court like snowflakes...

The experienced old minister saw some clues from these clues, and was not busy expressing his opinions, and watched the evolution of the situation.

During the war in the Jianghuai River, the government and the country were still united and shared the same hatred of the enemy. Once the crisis was resolved, the complex and subtle side of human nature would be reflected immediately.

...

On this day, the yard of the Daming Palace's life women was laughing and cheering, and it was very lively.

Empress Zhang summoned more than a dozen female relatives from five surnames and seven hopes to embroider a beautiful picture of the country as a birthday ceremony for Emperor Suzong. Princess Qingluan, Wang Xingchen, Cui Xunyan and other legitimate daughters of the aristocratic families were all present.

After the embroidery worker was completed, Empress Zhang held a banquet in Jixian Hall to entertain everyone.

At the banquet, the musician and dancer of the pear garden sang and danced.

The cymbals, drums, Western Regional instruments, guzheng, and fish are combined to play the cheerful Kucha music, and the vast scenery outside the border is performed.

The song ended, and under the leadership of the bell, the chime, sheng, bamboo flute, guzheng, and pipa sing together, making it a misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River.

Every song and scene are like a dream.

...

The women were in high spirits and laughed constantly. The maids carried food plates and wine pots to walk through the banquet. Braised venison, charcoal-burned deer meat... A rich and delicious delicacies were served on the table, fresh, sweet and fragrant.

At the banquet, the topics of the girls are naturally inseparable from the Jianghuai Victory.

Queen Zhang smiled gently and said to the female family: "Putting the Battle of Jianghuai is certainly a great achievement of my Tang Dynasty men, but why didn't our daughter's family make efforts?

If General Bai is the first contribution, then there is also a contribution from our Qingluan in this contribution.

According to the meaning of this palace, Your Majesty also has to give Qingluan a lot of rewards."

The women agreed in unison, smiling, teasing Princess Qingluan with one word and one word. Princess Qingluan is extremely shy and has a very sweet heart.

...

After three rounds of drinking, climaxes began.

Queen Zhang said to the female family: "How can you let down such a good time? I think that today's banquet is still missing a finale.

My uncle's youngest son Dou Qian was proficient in music and was already shocked as soon as he entered Chang'an. He was known as the second second in the music saint Li Guinian.

However, he usually entertains himself and rarely performs at banquets to entertain himself. Today, for my sake, he is reluctant to appear."

After saying that, Queen Zhang stood up and clapped her hands to the side hall.

I saw a light blue figure slowly turning out from behind the gauze tent in the side hall. A young man knelt quietly and gracefully, burning incense and playing the piano in a posture of quietly listening to the cold wind of the pine.

The little girls only felt the wind blowing in their ears, and a ray of piano sound penetrated the beam and entered their souls.

The string sounds are heart-warming, like the spring dawn of flowers, or like the singing of birds in a canyon, or like the light clouds without a fixed state. Sometimes it is twitching, and it is about to break and connect; sometimes it is sonorous and passionate, and it is unrestrained; sometimes it is sad and gentle, and it is twisted and detourful; sometimes it is stars traveling around the clouds and the water floods.

...

This song should have existed in heaven, but it is rare to hear it on earth.

After the song was finished, the bright moon and clear stars were all shocked.

Cui Xunyan was surprised and said to himself: "Is it him?"

Cui Xunyan pulled Princess Qingluan's sleeve and whispered: "Sister Luan, can you bother the Empress and let this person appear and see you?"

Princess Qingluan smiled sly and said, "Damn girl, are you moved?"

Cui Xunyan spat lightly and said angrily: "Can you help?"

Princess Qingluan smiled and said, "Help, of course."

After saying that, Princess Qingluan stood up, bowed to Queen Zhang Yingying, and said with a smile: "Mother, this musical skill is amazing. Can you please invite the young master who plays the piano to come out and talk about it? Sister Xun Yan will represent our sisters to a glass of wine to express your feelings."

Queen Zhang nodded happily and said to the gauze tent: "Qian'er, since you are so kind, you can come out and say hello to everyone."

The man in the gauze tent nodded, wiped his jade fingers lightly with a silk trouser, rose up and lifted the curtain out.

Dou Qian's body was as thin and slender as a jade tree. His originally loose light blue hair was tied with a jade hairpin, half tied and half tied behind his snow-white neck, and the rest of the hair was hanging to his waist and fluttered slightly.

Dou Qian's face is like jade, his skin is like condensed fat, and his shiny flows. His pupils are like water and fog, and the mist exudes the melancholy that cannot be dissolved.

This person is sick, gentle, extremely evil, and not like an ordinary person. As soon as he appears, the entire Jixian Palace is silent.

Dou Qian seemed to have been used to the shock of others at his appearance. He looked around the little girls on the spot without caring about it, and smiled carelessly, with a kind of crazy feeling that everyone was drunk with.

Cui Xunyan pinched himself with his hands and said to himself: "It's over, I'm trapped in."

Princess Qingluan chuckled in Cui Xunyan's ear and said, "Don't you go to toast yet? Don't say I didn't help you."

Cui Xunyan stood up in a daze, picked up the wine and came to the man.

Dou Qian ignored Cui Xunyan, but instead had a good impression of Princess Qingluan. He nodded slightly to Princess Qingluan and smiled and said, "I have seen this sister before."

Queen Zhang smiled and said, "But it's nonsense again. You have been in Chang'an for less than ten days. Today is the first time you have entered the palace. Have you ever seen His Royal Highness the Princess?"

This man's face was confused, as if he was recalling something. Then he smiled freely, showed his white teeth, and said, "As the Empress said, I must have never seen Your Highness. But I always look at the goodness of the lower palace, and naturally I regard Your Highness as an old acquaintance in my heart. Today I will meet again after a long separation, and it is not impossible."

After saying that, Dou Qian came to Princess Qingluan, stared at Princess Qingluan deeply, and said, "When the golden wind and jade dew meet, it will be better than countless people in the world."

As soon as these words came out, the whole seat was shocked.

This blurt-out sentence is indeed amazing, but in full view of everyone, the naked show of love is even more bold and reckless.

Princess Qingluan was stunned at first, then shy and annoyed. Her face darkened and she said angrily: "Young Master is so rude, please respect yourself."

After saying that, he left the table and left with his sleeves.

...

After this dinner, the Queen's cousin publicly pursued Princess Qingluan, which soon spread throughout Chang'an.

Does this beautiful and beautiful prince really love the princess, or openly challenge Bai Fu? There are countless versions circulating in the market, either erotic and exciting, or treacherous.

After the Jianghuai Victory, Bai Fu once again became the focus of Chang'an.
