Chapter 218 Giving a Bath

 In the palace of Huaqing, there are elixirs flowing in the flying pavilion, and the elixirs are carved into barrels. Complete version????520.????

A melodious song rang out from the back hall, but what was sung was an opera: "Battle, battle, battle, strong magic, meddling old bald donkey, he is jealous of my husband and wife's loving relationship..."

Yang Yuhuan was swinging her long sleeves. When she turned around, she saw the saint coming. She stopped singing and stood there looking at him.

Li Longji was feeling faintly displeased, but when he looked into her eyes, he found that those beautiful eyes clearly contained a hint of laughter and anger.

 She still looked agile and vivid, which surprised him a little.

 What is Tai Zhen singing? Are you in a good mood? "

"Of course it was the "White Snake" that was not finished that night. The old bald donkey suddenly turned into a real assassin. I haven't heard Sanlang's comments yet." Yang Yuhuan snorted: "I'm in a bad mood."

"Ha ha."

Li Longji stroked his beard and smiled as before. He liked her title, which made him feel that he was still the heroic Saburo.

Yang Yuhuan's feelings for him have not changed.

She is absolutely beautiful, and she likes to use musk to keep her skin as beautiful as jade. Coupled with her innocent and lively personality, she looks like a bright girl when she stands there. She is bold and aggressive, proud of her beauty, and she flirts and flirts as if she is not afraid of him.

The majesty of a king.

Of course he must be a king first, but he must also experience the youthful admiration. "Sanlang doesn't want to come see me. Is he really busy, or is he seduced by other vixens?" Yang Yuhuan did not coax him like the concubine next to him, but instead

He said angrily: "It's better not to come at all."

"Look what Taizhen said." Li Longji said with a smile: "After such a big thing, can I not be busy? Your brother is working for me. You will know as soon as you ask him."

“I’m too lazy to care about this, Sanlang, please comment quickly, you are the best in the world, tell me how good I am at singing Chinese Valentine’s Day?”

 “Okay, okay.“

Li Longji sat down very gracefully, but for a moment he did not immediately think of the opera that night.

The first thing that came to mind was the oncoming crossbow arrow, and then the prince's face emerged when he ascended the throne, discussed the late emperor with the officials, and even chased the beauties in the forbidden garden, asking them, "How do I compare to the late emperor?"

I hope that the Bodhisattva will enlighten me and help me escape from the ordinary world.

 The singing brought Li Longji back from these emotions. He waved his hands and made a few comments. It seemed that the two of them were back before the assassination.

 The reason why the whole case was lifted high and put down gently was that nothing should change.

 But some things still need to be mentioned. Li Longji asked: "Your sworn brother has invited himself to take up a post in Luoyang. I sent someone to tell you. What do you say?"

"What can I say?" Yang Yuhuan said: "My Yang family has only a small number of men. I only recognized such a foster brother because I saw that he would have a good future. I hope that he can take care of my nephew in the future when I get old and lose my temper." two."

Li Longji ignored the little hook in her words and continued the topic, not knowing what he wanted to explore.

“I think that he served well that night and deserves a heavy reward, but it’s not appropriate to make a big deal about it.”

“Does Sanlang think I’m scared?” Yang Yuhuan suddenly smiled and said, “It’s like water flooding a golden mountain.

 The scene where the shrimp soldiers and crabs are chasing each other. Remember the whole story~520 readings, website: xs520.

co“

Li Longji then laughed.

Then I will let Xue Bai go to Dongdu to get his qualifications first, and then he can be reused in the future."

“Sanlang’s arrangement is that I know you won’t treat the Yang family badly.”

  OA

Outside the palace, Xie Aman saw the saint's chariot leaving from a distance, and quickly entered the palace to ask for Concubine Yang.

Zhang Yunrong was peeling lychees. He looked back warily and saw that it was Xie Aman who was coming, so he continued talking.

 “I should have passed the test today, and the knot in my heart will gradually pass.”

“If the feelings were different, how could Jiang Caiping’s appearance and talent be any different?”

Xie Aman didn’t know what they were talking about, so he waited respectfully aside.

Not long after, Yang Yuhuan looked back at her and smiled: "I thought there was a thief standing behind me."

 “My dear concubine, I...

Xie Aman pinched his sleeves, but he couldn't find a good excuse at the moment, so he simply asked: "Xue Bai was really demoted? Why?"

"Whoever demotes him will go there of his own accord." Yang Yuhuan said: "It's better to be put away for a year or two to avoid the limelight, and then we will promote him."

“But can an official fan like him really invite himself to be released?”

 “Otherwise? Could the saint lie to you?”

“How about...disciple asking him?”

“So he’s waiting here.” Yang Yuhuan teased: “Don’t think about it, he is engaged.”

“The disciple knew it, but didn’t think much about it. He just felt that if he begged a noble concubine and was demoted because of it, he would have complained in his heart that the previous kindness had been wasted.”

“It’s not the cat you raised, he wouldn’t feel that way.”

Even so, Yang Yuhuan was not sure, but she knew that it was not the time to send someone to interact with Xue Bai, so she said: "Remain calm, I have my own arrangements."

ˆˆNN

In late July, it really rained in Lishan Mountain because the saint went to Chaoyuan Pavilion to offer sacrifices and pray for rain.

After the rain and the sky cleared, the haze caused by a stabbing case seemed to have passed. The case was very small and was closed by Zhaoying County Magistrate without causing too many waves.

  Xie Aman no longer stared at Xue Bai, and quietly went to Guoguozhuang.

 In the end, he changed his mind and wanted to work in Dongdu. The most important thing for Xue Bai was to appease Yang Yuyao. After all, she was his most important supporter now.

It's hard to say anything, because if she complains in her heart, the previous friendship will be in vain.

Xue Bai thought that the matter had not been determined yet, and Yang Yuyao should not know about it yet. Unexpectedly, she was nowhere to be seen when he arrived in the hall. He might have gotten the news from someone unknown and got angry.

 That would be very troublesome.

 “Where’s Yuyao?“

Mingzhu Wanfu said: "Xue Lang came with the slave family."

 “Is she angry?”

 “Did Xue Lang cause trouble again?”

 “That’s not the case.”

Xue Bai saw Mingzhu leading him to the bath. He felt relieved and thought about the words in his heart.

After entering the bath, Mingzhu reported through the screen: "Mother Yao, Xue Lang is here."

Suddenly there was the sound of a pipa from the other side of the screen, followed by a sound like an oriole emerging from the valley.

 Bai Suzhen, who lives at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain, spent thousands of years cultivating her body in a cave. Ah, she practiced diligently to attain the Tao...

 This is Nian Nu’s voice, she is really good at singing.

Amidst the melodious singing, Xue Bai turned around the screen and his eyes immediately lit up.

Yang Yuyao is dressed in white and wears a flower on her head. She is exactly like Bai Suzhen. She is also beautiful, but more flirtatious. Her slightly curly hair at the temples makes her eyes even more charming, and her slender calves are swaying gently in the hot spring.

Qinglan, who was wearing a green dress with a pretty face and a flushed face, peeked at Xue Bai and quickly turned back. She was also soaking in the hot spring with her bare feet, and was very embarrassed because Yang Yuyao always used his feet to seduce her.

Two pairs of jade feet were flapping in the pool, exactly like the scene of two snakes playing in the water that Xue Bai had said.

At this moment, Yang Yuyao turned back to look at Xue Bai, pursed her lips and smiled, with a charming look in her eyes, but ignored him and whispered into Qing Lan's ear. Qing Lan wanted to struggle but was hugged by her again, and the two of them made a sound like silver bells.

of laughter.

 She insisted on keeping Qing Lan by her side, and finally convinced her to accompany her to tease Xue Bai.

Nian Nu was dressed in red, sitting by the screen, singing a song with her pipa in her arms, looking very serious.

The vibrato is tactful.

"I hope that the Bodhisattva will enlighten me and help me escape from the ordinary world, ah..."

 NA

"ah.."

On the night of the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Yang Yuyao failed to watch the complete "The Legend of White Snake", so Xue Bai had to give her and Qing Lan a good talk.

 She was mostly curious about things that had nothing to do with the story.

“If the white snake turns into a human form, will it entangle people like a snake?”

 “What kind?”

"so?"

 After telling the story of "Strangling someone to death only if they are tied tightly," Yang Yuyao and Qing Lan also wanted to learn how to sing this play, especially the last vibrato in the Niannu song.

 It’s a pity that I didn’t learn it after studying all night.

 “Qing’er, save my sister..”

"Um...

ˆˆN

For several days, Xue Bai spent all his efforts to persuade Yang Yuyao to agree to him going to Yanshi to serve as county captain.

  After almost half his life, he finally impressed her.

"I decided to go to Dongdu. A man can't hide under his skirt for shelter all day long. He should face the wind and rain by himself. In this way, when the storm comes, I can protect you in turn."

“You are wild-minded, aren’t you? When can I ask you to protect me?”

Think about it...what would you do if the weather changes?"

Yang Yuyao then understood. What he was talking about was what to do if the saint dies.

Thinking of the saint's age, she understood why Xue Bai was so anxious to be promoted.

Her tone softened and she complained: "I can't bear to leave you."

Those who are close to Luoyang will be back in a year or two."

“What if you are not in front of the emperor, ask for a cockfight and say bad things about you, and then send someone to kill you?”

 “He won’t do it, I’m going to run an errand for the saint.”

Yang Yuyao hummed: "You don't want my sister to take care of you in front of the emperor."

Xue Bai pondered and lowered his voice: "I'm afraid the imperial concubine's situation is not very good, so you can't speak too much for me for the time being.

 “Why?“

“At the time of the assassination, the imperial concubine was unable to enter Wangjing Gate after all.”

Yang Yuyao said dissatisfied: "That's why the saint should compensate her well. Now is the time to respond to her requests."

“Yu Yao is saying that the saint is wrong?”

"I.

"No matter what you think, don't say it out loud." Xue Bai said: "Just pretend that nothing happened and wait until the impact of this matter has completely passed."

“I have to go into the palace to remind Yuhuan.”

"The noble concubine should know." Xue Bai said: "I must be returning to Chang'an to hand over official duties soon. After I leave, you are not in a hurry to see the noble concubine again."

If it is confirmed that he will be appointed Yanshi Wei, he does not plan to say goodbye to Yang Yuhuan, and will just head east when the time comes.

  ….

Xue Bai, of course, was very reluctant to leave Yang Yuyao, but he still had to leave Rourou Township to see the Tang Dynasty outside Guanzhong.

On that day, he was saying goodbye to Yang Yuyao, and Mingzhu came over in a hurry: "Xue Lang, please go back to the official residence quickly. I have a message to send him there."

ˆˆNn

Xue Bai originally thought it would be a holy decree granting him an official position, but what he didn't expect was a rather strange decree.

 “Give me a bath?”

"good."

Yang Guozhong also came with the imperial edict. He looked very proud and explained to Xue Bai why the saint gave Baiguan Hot Spring in Huaqing Palace.

"This custom was passed down from Emperor Taizong. In the 18th year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong built Tangquan Palace. It took four years to complete. Emperor Taizong invited all civil and military officials to take a bath in Tangquan Palace together. The saint renovated Huaqing Palace, but did not change Taizong's It is the tradition of the emperor to invite the important officials accompanying him to the bath every time."

"That's it." Xue Bai suddenly realized, "But I'm just a small official."

Yang Guozhong patted his back affectionately and said with a smile: "You have done a good job in escorting me. Naturally, you are invited by the saint. This is a profound kindness from the king."

 “Yes, your kindness is profound.”

  …

Xue Bai hasn’t entered Huaqing Palace for a long time.

On that day, palace doors slowly opened in front of him. Feng Shenwei walked in front, leading him and the officials beside him into the palace garden.

 First pass through Jinyang Gate, get dressed in Feishuang Hall, and then enter Xiyuan.

The buildings of Huaqing Palace are not neatly built, because they are all built according to the location of the hot spring exits. All hot spring pools are also located in the palace, and they look very solemn.

"Don't look around." Yang Guozhong walked with his head lowered and reminded Xue Bai in a low voice.

There were only eight officials in the team. Yang Hua was walking in front wearing a purple robe, followed by officials in red robes. Only one man in a green robe stood out among them.

 The ladies in the palace only stared at the green robe, their eyes shining brightly.

Xue Bai then lowered his head slightly and found that the layout of the inner garden was not unfamiliar to him. If he remembered it well, this should be the location of the ring garden.

 Sure enough.

“We’ve arrived at the Royal Book Pavilion.” Feng Shenwei stopped and said with a smile, “I’ll show you the handwriting of Emperor Taizong first. This is an annual process. The purple robes are all familiar with it, so they should come forward first.

The Yushu Pavilion was originally called the "Bian Palace". When Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty led hundreds of officials to Tangquan Palace, he met with them here to discuss state affairs, so it was called the Bian Palace. When Li Longji first renovated the Huaqing Palace, it was converted into the Yushu Pavilion for worship and display of Tang Taizong's "Bian Palace". "Hot Spring Inscription" on the right side of the monument to show inheritance.

This stone tablet was probably destroyed later, and the original rubbings were also lost. The re-rubbings from the Mogao Grottoes were handed down in later generations.

 Collected in the Library of Paris.

 Stepping onto the square bricks with lotus patterns, Xue Bai found that the architectural style here was still simple, and there were not even patterns on the tiles.

 He was at the end of the official queue and looked at the right monument.

 As soon as you enter your eyes, you will feel the momentum of the calligraphy...the momentum of an emperor who loves the world.

This is the original stele. The writing style of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty has the style of Wang Xizhi. It is sharp and sharp, but the strokes are more free and uninhibited. Every word is carved with a knife. The bones are strong, the appearance is extraordinary, and it reveals grace.

Luxurious, bold and confident.

 This is an imperial script, and Xue Bai only knows regular script now.

The calligraphy is unrestrained and unrestrained, but the content written is very humble. I have worked hard and thought hard, and I have suffered from frequent illnesses.

 The Emperor Taizong was explaining that he had suffered from rheumatism for many years due to overwork and needed to use Lishan Warm Decoction to relieve it.

 The reason why he wants to explain is because he knows that "water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it." When the country was first established, he did not want his ministers and people to think that he only cared about enjoying themselves, so he was frightened and reverent.

Xue Bai raised his hand and wanted to touch the stone tablet, but suddenly he thought that he couldn't touch it and stopped.

“Everyone, please continue to follow the old slave. Over there is the "Star Hot Spring", which is where Emperor Taizong specially bathed. Now the hot spring is led to another hot spring to express the meaning of "the emperor's grace is so great that the rain and dew are all touched".

 “Boom!”

Suddenly there was a thunder, and large dark clouds came in, covering the sun and the sky quickly darkened.

Xue Bai turned his head and looked at the stone tablet with the "Hot Spring Inscription". In his mind, he seemed to see this thunder that would shatter everything, including this stone tablet, and then fire would burn every corner of the land.

 In the light of the fire, people struggled, sank, and became stupid for a time. Their spines were broken for a time, and the proud heads of the Tang Dynasty were lowered.

As a result, the rubbings of the inscriptions were flown to other places along with the Mogao Grottoes cultural relics. The tomb of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was destroyed. The stone tablets of the Six Horses of Zhaoling were cut into pieces, moved to sea ships, and transported to foreign countries...

 “Boom!“

There was another thunder, as if Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was shouting angrily from the sky.

"Evil beast! When I was eighteen years old, I raised a voluntary army, leveled the world twenty-four times, rectified the four seas, flattened the districts, helped the people, and made the Tang Dynasty strong and prosperous. However, a hundred years later, why did my handwriting end up in a foreign country, a ghost weapon?

Playing in the hands of Fanyi?! All descendants are useless!"
