Chapter 430 Entering the palace to meet Yang Taizhen
Scattered snowflakes floated in the sky over Chang'an, sparsely like catkins flying in spring. The snow had just covered the ground white, but under the feet of pedestrians, traces of footprints appeared, just like ink paintings.
graffiti,
Outside the Tongyang Gate of Nannei Xingqing Palace stood a Kun Dao and a military attache. Kun Dao was over middle-aged, wearing a sapphire lotus crown on her head, and her long hair behind her was already mottled white. She held a fly whisk in her left hand and a whisk in her right hand.
He was holding an umbrella. The martial artist next to him was tall and burly. In order not to oppress Kun Dao, he could only slightly arch his back and lower his waist, holding a sandalwood box wrapped in plain silk in his hand.
This Kun Taoist only cared about holding the umbrella herself and didn't care about the snowflakes on the head of the person next to her. Maybe it was because the other person was too tall and she was not willing to hold up the umbrella high to give him a sheltered space.
The soldiers of the Longwu Army opened a corner of the palace door, crossed their hands and saluted Kun Dao: "Taoist Master, please come in." However, they glanced at Li Siye behind the Taoist Priest in embarrassment.
"No problem, he is a foreigner that my wife asked me to introduce."
"Then, you two, please come in."
They entered the palace gate. There was already a palace eunuch waiting in the open space inside the gate. After seeing the two of them, he nodded slightly, turned around and said, "You two, please follow me."
In front of them is the tall and broad Mingguang Tower, which is ten feet high and has densely arranged corridors. It looks like a stretch of Cangshan Mountain under the complicated snow scene. The eunuch turned around in front of the building and walked towards the side hall on one side. Daochang Gongsun supported him
The bamboo umbrella moved forward slowly, and Li Siye followed behind, taking a leisurely stroll in the courtyard. He walked straight through the side hall from the long corridor, and came to the side of the Long Pond where the blue waves were quiet.
There is a faint mist on the lake, and several pleasure boats are moored at the pier. A thin layer of snow is spread on the ridges of the boat roofs. The embellishment of the snow makes the whole boat more three-dimensional, and the palaces in the distance are here.
In the well-proportioned snow world, everything seems to be one level lower. The colors of the pillars and door leaves are not so obvious. They are isolated by white and float in the air. The grand momentum is particularly strong, and the vitality is gone.
Passing through the towering Yingzhou Gate of the archway, Nanxun Hall is on the dozens of fenced stone steps opposite. The maids in the palace are cleaning up and down the stone steps. When it snows, the steps are always very smooth, Gongsun
The Taoist priest carefully leaned forward and stepped forward. Li Siye thought that he should go up to help her, but he was flicked away by his elbow.
"You can walk on your own, I don't need your help."
Entering the threshold of the palace gate, the two of them rubbed the snow off their feet on the brown and black carpet at the door. Then they walked inside and the long corridor was covered with white carpets, as if the snow outside gave them a chill.
Hollow carbon stoves stood every few feet on both sides, and even the burning materials in the stove gave off a faint aroma.
It seemed that they couldn't bear to get the white carpet dirty, so they just walked around behind the charcoal stoves on both sides of the aisle. In front of them was a sandalwood barrier, and a bead curtain hung on the door of the moon cave. Several women could be heard chatting and laughing through the bead curtain.
Shengfeng, her voice is crisper and more mellow than that of an oriole, and is better than any royal sister lolita voice.
The palace eunuch folded his hands respectfully and said, "Madam, guests from Taizhen Temple are here."
"Please ask Master to come in quickly."
Gongsun glanced at Li Siye and asked him to calm down. He took the sandalwood box from his hand, held the box with a whisk and stepped in. The waterfall-like curtain made a sound of pearls and jade, and then returned to normal. Li Siye did not dare to
He looked up to see the spring scenery inside and waited patiently for the results.
The women in the beaded curtain made whispers, as if women were having a private meeting behind men's backs. From time to time, they heard clear and hilarious sentences, but they were not accurate. Li Siye simply stopped listening and looked down to see a few cats on the ground.
Crawling all over the ground, the cats in the palace may be fed too well. They are as fat as white balls and black balls, and they are not afraid of people at all. One of them climbed on his feet and bit the hem of his robe. Li Siye raised his hand.
Pull up the front and it will jump up and grab it.
"Lift the curtain."
The two maids stood on the left and right of the moon cave door, lifting the curtain with the golden hooks in their hands. The scene inside was accompanied by the fragrance of Miao Miao. Three or four women each sat on the wide bed, while Gongsun Taoist priest stood beside him.
Yang Yuhuan is sitting in the center with a deer tail in his hand.
She wears a white jade hibiscus crown on her head, with a Ziwu hairpin passing from back to front. The surface of the green Taoist robe is covered with white silk. Her body is slightly stout, leaning on the armrest, supporting her forehead with her elbows, and looking around
These bright flowers look like lotus flowers under the moon.
She glanced at Li Siye with a faint eyebrow, and said softly: "The dipterocarp in this box is the best I have ever seen. Is it you who sent it?"
"yes."
"what do you want?"
Li Siye said unhurriedly: "These dipterocarps were collected by Meng Lingcha, the governor of Anxi Jiedu, who specially sent people from Tianzhu to present them to my wife."
"Fumeng Lingcha." Yang Yuhuan chanted the name twice in a row and asked, "Fumeng Lingcha, what does he want?"
"Fumeng Zhongcheng just wants to leave an impression on the lady, and has nothing else."
"It's just an impression, very good, I've paid attention to it."
Li Siye bowed and crossed his hands: "Thank you, madam."
When he straightened up, the bead curtain had been lowered inside, and Li Siye had no choice but to salute again: "I will leave at the end of the day."
He slowly retreated out of the hall, walked out of the hall along the same path, and decided to stand at the door of the hall to wait for Taoist Gongsun. However, after waiting for a long time, the first ones to come out were two women in costumes with makeup and one of them turned around and glanced at him.
He glanced at her with a charming look in his eyes, then he laughed playfully and walked down the stairs while holding up his skirt.
This woman has a good figure, but just by the way she walks, you can tell that she is a loose person.
Taoist Gongsun suddenly walked out from behind and glanced at her with a gloomy expression: "Let's go."
Li Siye scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, feeling like he should explain something, but he did nothing, said nothing, and had nothing to explain.
…
They walked out of Jinming Gate, and the fine snowflakes in the sky were still drifting. Master Gongsun held a bamboo umbrella and was about to leave. Li Siye said sincerely: "I really feel sorry for making you run so many times for this matter. It's so cold.
Damn it, let me treat you to something to eat before you leave."
Taoist Master Gongsun shook his head indifferently: "No need, the poor Taoist has not been good at eating meat since he entered Taoism." She put the whisk on her shoulder, turned around and asked him: "I heard that you once rescued Yang Taizhen from a frightened horse?"
Li Siye was stunned for a moment and nodded affirmatively.
Gongsun shook his head and said: "No, you are not saving Yang Taizhen, but Princess Shou. You are a smart person and you should know the difference between the two."
Si Ye crossed his hands on his chest and said with sincere gratitude: "Thank you for your advice."
"Well, be nice to her."
After saying this, a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, which surprised Li Siye. In this sudden smile, he seemed to see the sword-dancing immortal in Xihe, who was dancing gracefully with swords. However, in this trance
In the meantime, Taoist Kun had already walked away with a bamboo umbrella, her back looked lonely. The Chang'an people around her who were hurriedly walking with their arms folded and their heads down could not recognize her as the famous Gongsun Aunt yesterday.
The smile just now was not for him, but for her apprentice Li Twelve Niang. He was just a medium to transmit information. The words of Taoist Gongsun just now reminded him that Yang Taizhen is not equal to Princess Shou.
It was a fig leaf given to him by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, and it was also a way of deceiving himself and others. Therefore, whether Yang Taizhen kept it in mind or not, he could not use it in public. If he wants to approach this line legitimately, he needs to be honest.
A more reasonable excuse.
Just like Fatty An recognized his godmother, should I also adopt a godmother?
No, he hasn't crossed the bottom line to this point yet.
