On the day of Princess Pingyang's triumphant return, His Majesty Li Yuan was even happier than when King Qin made his triumphant return. Hundreds of officials greeted him in the outskirts, dragons and phoenix chariots were watched by everyone, and a banquet was given by the Zhaode Hall. All officials of the fifth rank and above of the imperial court stayed in the palace.
Eat inside and wash away the dust for Princess Pingyang.
It can be said that except for the fact that Princess Pingyang did not have an actual official position, so His Majesty Li Yuan could not give her an official position, the rest of the treatment was even worse than when King Qin returned in triumph...
But His Majesty Li Yuan gave great rewards to all the officials in her shogunate, big and small. He even granted the title of Duke Rong to Gao Manzheng who surrendered, and the title of Duke Rui to Yuan Junzhang.
Finally, His Majesty Li Yuan held a wine glass and loudly announced at the banquet that Princess Pingyang's food estate had been increased to 5,000 households, thus making Li Xiuning's food estate surpass Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, becoming the largest among the princes and princesses.
Just when everyone was sighing at the great reward given by His Majesty Li Yuan, they heard another big news announced by His Majesty Li Yuan in public.
After some strategizing, Li Jiancheng, who was far away in Hebei, finally instigated Zhuge Dewei, Liu Heitai's crony, and used him to capture Liu Heitai and his younger brother Liu Shishan, and beheaded them both in public, and also took their heads.
They were all sent to Chang'an.
Hebei was completely pacified!
After hearing the news, a few smart people among the officials present, such as His Majesty Li Yuan's good friend Pei Ji, immediately understood what His Majesty Li Yuan wanted to express.
The reward for Princess Pingyang who defeated the Turks was so generous, so how should the reward be given to Prince Li Jiancheng who pacified Hebei and solved Liu Heitai's serious problem?
Has the position of the prince become ironclad?
Of course, Pei Ji was not the only smart person. King Qin Li Shimin had also figured out this problem at this time. He was seen holding the wine glass in his hand, in a daze, and the knuckles of his fingers were a little white from the excessive exertion.
At this time, there was only one sentence that was turning over and over in Li Shimin's mind.
Aye, that's so unfair!
When some officials who were more optimistic about King Qin heard the news announced by His Majesty Li Yuan, they couldn't help but look at King Qin Li Shimin with sympathy in their eyes. After seeing King Qin's dejected look, they all pretended to drink wine and lowered their hair.
He let out a soft sigh.
King Qin is so miserable!
However, for Dr. Yinqing Guanglu, who was also qualified to hang out and eat and drink, the matter in front of him did not interest him at all.
Where did this go... His Majesty Li Yuan's partiality is still behind!
He was leaning on the desk with one hand, with a thoughtful look on his face, and his mind was filled with what the third lady had said to him in the car just now.
"Hmph! Just wait for me..."
What on earth did Sanniang want to do by making her wait for him? Is it because she was still a little embarrassed about giving away underwear?
From holding a grudge more than a month ago to now, I am too petty!
Women are the same in this regard, both in ancient and modern times.
The banquet lasted from noon to midnight. When the banquet was over, Kong Qing originally wanted to see what the third lady planned to do with him, but he ended up waiting.
Come to Ma Sixi's words.
"Qingwei, the third lady asked someone to tell you that the saint asked her to stay overnight tonight and said he wanted to have a good chat with her about the relationship between father and daughter."
After hearing these words, Kong Qing breathed out a sigh of relief.
With a familiar smile, he bent down and bowed slightly to Ma Sixi. Then he took out a paper box containing French fries and some ketchup from his sleeve and handed it to Ma Sixi.
"Ma Jialing, please give me a few kind words in front of the third lady."
"Qingwei, what you said is a bit redundant..."
Ma Sixi also took the fries very familiarly.
"Given the relationship between you and me, can I still not give you a good word?"
…
After watching Kong Qing follow the other officials and leave the palace, Ma Sixi turned around and walked around to the Qianqiu Hall on the west side of the Liangyi Hall.
As we all know, His Majesty Li Yuan is a person who attaches great importance to family ties!
So even after he became emperor, he still left a place for his sons and daughters to live in the Imperial City.
Of course, it is limited to the children of the original wife, Mrs. Dou...
For example, His Royal Highness King Qin’s residence in Ouchi is Baifu Hall on the west side of Ouchi, and Li Yuanji’s residence is Wude Hall on the east side. As for the home of Princess Pingyang in the imperial city, it is Qianqiu Hall.
.
By the way, next to Qianqiu Palace is the Princess Garden where the princesses who have not left the palace live.
"How about it?"
Li Xiuning sat under the lamp, skillfully patting skin care products on her face, and asked in a lazy tone.
"What's Xiao Qingwei's expression..."
Ma Sixi stood up straight and answered without squinting.
"Qingwei was very disappointed after hearing that he could not see Sanniangzi. It can be seen that he misses Sanniangzi very much after not seeing her for so long."
"Yeah?"
Li Xiuning stopped what he was doing and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"I'm actually very disappointed. It seems that this little guy has really grown up now..."
After saying this, Li Xiuning rolled his eyes and passed his hand across his chest.
"Well, I've learned too much!"
…
Kong Qing, who felt that he had temporarily escaped the third wife's accountability, was in a good mood. After walking out of the imperial city, he was not in a hurry to return to Qingdu Temple. Instead, he was shaking his whisk whisk and wandering around along the roads of Chang'an City.
Walking around.
Because of Princess Pingyang's triumphant return, His Majesty Li Yuan announced that King Wu would not be restrained within three days!
So even though it was already dark now, the streets of Chang'an were still crowded with people and seemed very lively. One by one, figures held lanterns in their hands and were swinging back and forth in the dark. The scene looked very strange.
"This is a ghost, this is also a ghost, this is still a ghost..."
Kong Qing's eyes flashed from the figures appearing on the street, with strange expressions on their faces.
"Your Majesty Li Yuan, are you celebrating people or ghosts? This is almost becoming a night march of a hundred ghosts."
At this moment, a somewhat familiar voice suddenly came to Kong Qing's ears.
"Master Qingwei, long time no see!"
"Huh?"
Kong Qing turned his head and found two unfamiliar beauties standing not far away from him. One of them was beautiful in color and thin in figure. There were two white bone hairpins inserted in her head. The other was wearing a
The stunning beauty in red looks stunning under the light.
"Hey, they look familiar. Who are these two beauties?"
Kong Qing raised his eyebrows and threw the two appraisal skills silently.
"Oh, it turns out to be Mrs. Jin Youzhang's wife..."
Kong Qing nodded towards the slightly thinner beauty in front of him.
"Why, have you and your husband moved to Chang'an City?"
"yes!"
Mrs. Gu held a white lantern in her hand and bowed down to Kong Qing.
"Thanks to the Taoist priest for his protection, I can stay and fly together with Neng Jinlang."
"no!"
Kong Qing raised his hand slightly, and a secret force pushed up the mount of the undead knight in front of him.
"Pindao was just moved by Brother Jin's sincerity."
As he said that, Kong Qing's eyes moved sideways and fell on the stunningly beautiful girl in red, and his tone became a little different.
"Thirteenth Niang, didn't Pindao tell you to go back to Huoshan?"
"When a brother of the same clan is arrested, the Nu family really can't just remain indifferent."
The beauty in red also bowed down directly in front of Kong Qing.
"So as long as there is a glimmer of hope, the slave family wants to come to Chang'an and give it a try."
"You don't have to try..."
Kong Qing waved his sleeves with a stern expression.
"Your brother Hu Shishi has been beheaded by Pindao. You should leave quickly!"
"Real people are joking!"
The beauty in red knelt on the ground and spoke quietly but firmly.
"The slave family and the younger brother are siblings, and they have blood connections, so the slave family is sure that the master did not kill the slave brother, which shows that the master is compassionate..."
Kong Qing shook his sleeves, turned around and left!
You actually said that Pindao is compassionate? Have you seen that Pindao is a Taoist priest, not a bald donkey?
You are compassionate, and your whole family is compassionate!
Seeing Kong Qing turning around and leaving without hesitation, the beauty in red suddenly kowtowed on the ground with force.
"Please wait a moment, real person..."
Kong Qing did not hesitate and did not even stop.
"Master, Fire God Song Wuji has set his sights on you!"
"What?"
After hearing the last sentence, Kong Qing's footsteps stopped instantly.
"Fire God Song Wuji..."
Kong Qing turned his head and looked at the beauty in red who was still kneeling on the ground.
"You know something, please explain it clearly to me."
"yes!"
After hearing Kong Qing's words, the beauty in red kowtowed to the ground again and continued.
"Since the real person left Huoshan, the slave also left Huoshan and went to Chang'an with the intention of looking for the real person. When the slave passed by Zhongtiao Mountain, he found many spirits that had been burned to death at the foot of the mountain. The slave was sad for the death of rabbits and foxes, so he
I planned to bury them all, but found that one of them, although seriously injured, was still alive at the time...
From the rabbit spirit, the slaves learned that they were all killed by the fire god Song Wuji. The reason seemed to be because his son was kidnapped by a Taoist priest dressed in white, so Song Wuji turned his anger on them, the spirits who had followed Song Wuji's son.
."
Hearing this, Kong Qing's eyebrows had already wrinkled.
The spirits that Thirteen Niang was talking about should be the kind-hearted spirits with no crimes left in Zhongtiao Mountain after he captured Song Xiancheng last time. As a result, they were all killed by Song Wuji out of anger.
In other words, those monsters also had their share of credit for their deaths!
"Just when the slaves buried the burned spirits and were about to leave Zhongtiao Mountain, they suddenly heard a loud roar coming from the mountain..."
"Light roar..."
Kong Qing asked again.
"What are you talking about?"
"That's what the other party said."
Thirteenth Niang raised her head, glanced at Kong Qing, and said boldly.
"Taishi Bureau, you actually dare to arrest someone's son. Do you really think Song Xuanbai is old?"
