Chapter 421: The slave family said it all, it's not about money
Early the next morning...
A disheveled Taoist priest in white quietly jumped out of the back window of the flower hall. He looked around like a thief and found that no one was around. Then he turned around and found a man who was leaning in front of the window with a confused look on his face.
The lazy beauty kissed her on the face.
"Sanniang, Pindao is leaving right now!"
"go Go……"
The radiant Princess Pingyang covered her mouth with her snow-white hands and yawned gently.
"After a long night of hard work last night, I am very tired now. You should leave quickly! I still need to rest... Ha!"
Kong Qing tidied up his still somewhat messy clothes, nodded to Princess Pingyang, then wiped his hand on the demon refining pot at his waist, and his whole body instantly turned into light and flew straight into the sky.
Looking at the fleeting light in the sky, Princess Pingyang didn't know what she thought of. She bit her lower lip gently and chuckled.
"The little guy has really grown up..."
With that said, Princess Pingyang closed the window and patted it with both hands.
The next moment, the two maids opened the side door and walked in.
"Your Highness..."
Li Xiuning pointed at the maid in front, and then pointed at the maid behind.
"You come and change my clothes. You go to the flower hall and ask Madam Hu to come over!"
"yes!"
A quarter of an hour later, Hu Meier walked in with the maid, holding an ancient mirror in her hand.
"Looking at His Highness's complexion, it should be a good thing. I am here to congratulate Your Highness on your wish... Hey! Your Highness, what is this?"
"This..."
Princess Pingyang stood in front of a mirror that was almost as tall as a person and was decorated with gold and jade. She turned slightly and looked at her figure reflected in the mirror with a proud smile on her face.
"This is the full-length mirror that Xiao Qingwei gave to me last night. Why, Mei'er, didn't you see from Yuan Ying last night that he gave me this mirror?"
"Princess, how could the Nu family see what you said... Wait, Your Highness, Princess, you are saying that the Nu family and Yuan Ying peeped last night, right?"
Hu Meier's face showed confusion at first, and then immediately turned into an angry expression.
"Your Highness! How can you be so innocent? The Nu family is a celestial fox with integrity. She will never peep into other people's privacy. The same goes for Yuan Ying. She is a mirror made by Emperor Xuanyuan himself, and her integrity is the same as that of Emperor Xuanyuan.
Just as reliable!”
In Hu Meier's hands, Gu Jingjing Yuanying also shook slightly and let out a long dragon roar, as if to express her dissatisfaction.
Princess Pingyang looked through the full-length mirror and carefully looked at the aggrieved Tianhu behind her and the shaking ancient mirror in her hand.
After a long while, he nodded silently.
All right!
Judging from their expressions and gazes, Hu Meier and the others probably weren't peeping. In other words, the two of them probably didn't know what the full-length mirror Qingwei gave them was used for last night.
That's good……
"Well, I have wrongly blamed you, and I want to apologize to you, Mei'er!"
"What's the use of apologizing..."
Hu Meier still looked indignant.
"You are doubting the quality of the fox of the slave family. You must know that the slave family is a very upright, pure and pure sky fox..."
The corners of Princess Pingyang's mouth were slightly raised, and her eyes were squinting.
"I'll give you an extra forty guan when you check out Qingqiu Secret Medicine!"
"make a deal!"
As soon as Hu Meier finished speaking, she saw Princess Pingyang's half-smiling expression in the dressing mirror.
"Actually, this is not about money... the main thing is that the slave family has seen your sincerity, princess!"
"Okay, I know this!"
Princess Pingyang lazily raised her hand and said in a very casual tone while watching the maid putting on the sleeves of the long dress.
"Mei'er, when I was having a massage with you in Erwenniang's shampoo room, I heard you say that the reason why you were left in the West City by Xiao Qingwei was to protect Erwenniang, her sisters and the Zhao family.
The lady of the restaurant, right?"
"Yeah, that's right!"
Hu Meier nodded and answered very frankly.
"Qingwei seems to have offended a Taoist master named Song Xuanbai. That guy was a bit unscrupulous in his actions. Qingwei was worried about the safety of those stupid foxes and the Zhao family's eldest lady, so he asked the Nu family to stay in the West City to protect them."
"oh!"
Princess Pingyang turned around in front of the mirror and asked the maid to start adjusting the outer skirt she had just put on.
"I am very familiar with the twenty-niang sisters, but I have never had contact with the eldest daughter of the Zhao family before. Mei'er, you have been in the West City during this time. Can you tell me a little about this person?"
"This is inappropriate!"
Hu Meier blinked and said with a righteous look.
"The slave family is a very ethical fox, and will never speak ill of others behind their backs..."
"Fifty strings!"
"Oh, I have already said that this is not about money..."
The expression on Hu Meier's face instantly turned ugly.
"It's just that the slave family is in love with you, princess, so let's just chat casually. It's not like the slave family is easy to gossip. As the saying goes, no one talks behind someone's back, right? The situation of the eldest lady of the Zhao family is
Such……"
…
While Princess Pingyang and Hu Meier were 'reconnaissing the enemy', His Majesty Li Yuan, who had worked hard all night, was sitting in the Zhaode Palace, holding the dragon's blood cup that Sanniang had enshrined to him, drinking from the dragon's blood cup that Sanniang had brought to him early this morning.
of Sanle Pulp.
His Majesty Li Yuan closed his eyes and slowly swallowed a mouthful of Sanle pulp. Feeling the heat that the Sanle pulp strengthened by the dragon blood cup radiated in his body and the vitality it brought to him, he stroked his own breasts with his hands.
Beard, with a drunken look on his face.
"Well, this Sanlejiang is indeed good. It has the god of wine without any disadvantages! Pei Qing, what do you think?"
“Very beautiful indeed!”
Pei Ji, who was holding a transparent glass with a tiger on it, was also smacking his lips, savoring this 'wine' that he had never drunk before.
"Although I also want to praise you a few words, but with Saint Zhuyu in front of me, I really have nothing to say!"
"Hahaha……"
Li Yuan pointed at Pei Ji and smiled happily.
"Pei Qing, you are considered a great person in this world. How can you have nothing to say? You are too modest. You are too modest..."
Just when the monarch and his ministers were enjoying themselves, they suddenly heard the servant coming to report.
"Reporting to the saint, His Highness the King of Qi said that he has something to ask for an audience with!"
"Sanlang..."
After hearing the words King Qi, Li Yuan frowned silently.
"It doesn't matter what he's doing here again...announce him to come in!"
A few minutes later, the door curtain was raised, and Qi Wang Li Yuanji strode in from outside the house, knelt down on his knees, and paid homage.
"My child, please say hello to Aye!"
"That's it!"
Li Yuan waved his hand casually and said impatiently.
"If there's something wrong, tell me!"
"Is such that!"
Li Yuanji lowered his head with respect.
"Now the mountain god from Yufeng Mountain in the Jianghuai region has come to Chang'an and wants to contribute to the Tang Dynasty. I think this is a good thing, so I plan to let him join the Taishi Bureau..."
"You don't have to tell me about such a trivial matter!"
Before Li Yuanji could finish his words, Li Yuan interrupted him without caring.
"You can just go to the Taishi Ling Qingxiazi from the Taishi Bureau to discuss it yourself..."
"Haier has already gone to see Master Qingxia, but he rejected him."
Li Yuanji raised his head and said with an aggrieved look.
"Master Qingxia said that the God of Yufeng Mountain was a god who once participated in the Dragon God of Taihu Lake. He cannot be pardoned by Aye and cannot be admitted to the Taishi Bureau."
"Oh! That's it,"
Li Yuan still said casually.
"Then I will forgive..."
"Ahem..."
Before he could finish his words, he heard his good friend Pei Ji next to him cough lightly twice. In an instant, His Majesty Li Yuan's tone of voice changed.
"...His affairs still need to be carefully considered. After all, he can be considered a traitor to God!"
While talking, Li Yuan turned to look at Pei Ji next to him, raised his eyebrows slightly, and then he saw Pei Ji silently raised his hand and wrote two words in the air.
Li Yuan suddenly remembered...
When Fugong Er first rebelled, in order to deal with the gods who had rebelled with the Taihu Dragon God, he had already delegated to Qingwei the power to consecrate gods and set up temples for sacrifices in the Jianghuai land in the future through an explicit edict.
Although it is a small thing to pardon a little Yufeng Mountain God, it is a big deal to change the order day and night and destroy the sanctity of one's own edict.
It's not that you can't do this kind of thing of slapping yourself in the face, but for a little Yufeng Mountain God, it's totally not worth it!
After thinking of this, Li Yuan immediately nodded slightly to Pei Ji, then turned to Li Yuanji, who was still kneeling on the ground and said.
"Besides, when I promised to go to Jianghuai in the Taishi Bureau Qingwei to solve the dispute between the Dragon Gods of Taihu Lake, I had already entrusted him with all the affairs of the gods in Jianghuai. Sanlang, if you want to pardon this Yufeng Mountain God, you'd better go
Find Qingwei!"
After hearing Li Yuan's words, Li Yuanji almost opened his mouth in surprise.
What's going on? How come you can meet that pretty-faced Taoist priest Qingwei everywhere?
"Aye Mingjian..."
Li Yuanji kowtowed on the ground again.
"Hai'er and Qingwei have a bad relationship with each other. Since it is a matter recommended by Hao'er, he may not be willing to tolerate it for the sake of the country. Please ask Aye to directly issue an edict to pardon Yufeng God!"
After hearing Li Yuanji's words, Li Yuan frowned in displeasure.
Is it the rift between you and Qingwei that is more important, or is it that I, the emperor, go back on his word and change his word every day?
"There is a rift between you and Qingwei. Isn't it because you falsely accused him? Why don't you go and apologize to him?"
His Majesty Li Yuan suppressed his anger and continued.
"Even if you can't let go and don't want to apologize, can't you still ask Dalang or Erlang to come forward and make peace? If it doesn't work, you can also go to Sanniangzi. You are from the same mother, won't they help you?
?"
After hearing Li Yuan's words, Li Yuanji suddenly felt aggrieved in his heart.
His majestic emperor's son, the future... prince, why should he apologize to his third sister's pretty boy!
He said that he beat his brother-in-law Chai Shao without even apologizing...
"That Qingwei has bad character and ruined Third Sister's reputation. I really don't want to apologize to him!"
"Shut up!"
Li Yuan said coldly.
"It's all nonsense to ruin the reputation of the Third Lady!"
"My child is not talking nonsense,"
Li Yuanji immediately retorted.
"Haier's men saw with their own eyes that Qingwei entered the third sister's mansion last night, and she still hasn't come out yet..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw that Li Yuan had picked up a writing brush from several desks and threw it towards him.
"That's nonsense, come here and get this traitor out of here!"
