Spring Banquet Chapter 79: Moon

lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Spring Festival Banquet!

So, when the emperor couldn't wait for Lord Pingling to come, and was about to make an order to inquire about the crime, something happened to Pingling.

The princess Danyang issued a complaint on the last day of the sacrifice day of Li Shan, the former Pingling Lord, accusing her of being unfaithful.

In the second year of Daxing, because he seized power with Wei Wei, Li Shan became vengeful and murdered. He strangled Sun Weiwei, who was nearly 50 years old and had been loyal to the court for many years, to Leng Palace. In the three years of Daxing, trying to seize the concubine Feng's family, he forced Feng's family to commit suicide.

In the same year, Li Shan unjustly died of Xu Xian's eldest brother, making his bones cold and unable to return; the treasure of the treasury was 300,000 taels, and the palace of cultivation was the emperor in the face, but in fact he was himself, and hundreds of laborers died. Someone played it, but the play failed to reach the emperor, and those who played it were also harmed, causing the imperial court to behave badly for many years.

The eldest princess asked, why can such a person enter the ancestral temple and receive worship for three days every year? The blood of the Li family on him is a shame to the Li family!

As soon as this complaint was published, there was an uproar in the world. Not many people knew whether it was true or not, and they could only talk about it.

But then, when Ren Pinglingjun Li Fangwu, the son of Li Shan, personally confirmed that these were facts.

He played on the emperor, with the posture of righteousness to destroy his relatives, indicating that he would never go to Beijing to worship his father in the future.

This decision seems very appropriate, both filial piety, and there are good reasons not to go to Kyoto. The emperor could not convict him of unfilial piety, nor could he force him to leave Pingling.

But in this way, everyone in the world knows that Li Shan is a man of many evils, far from being as good as the book praises and history books.

Someone started to verify what was in the complaint and found that what the eldest princess said was true. According to her, she soon found the remains of Sun Weiwei in the cold palace.

The court shook, and countless memorials flew to the emperor’s imperial case, demanding that Li Shan’s three-day ancestral temple worship every year be revoked.

Li Huailin sat alone on the soft couch of Longyan Palace, with the windows closed, and the shadows in the corner fell on his eyes.

"Your Majesty." Liu Yunlie came in and said in a low voice, "It has been handled."

The ancestral temple worship was set by Li Huailin. Liu Yunlie knew the reason, and it was impossible for him to change it just because of the courtiers' orders. But... The princess's trick really caught them off guard. The seal that your Majesty had originally planned for Li Shan would not be possible.

Li Huailin's voice is low: "Is what the emperor said is true?"

Liu Yunlie paused and shook his head: "Don't you know what kind of temperament the princess is? After many years, she suddenly ran out to talk about this. There must be an interest behind it. It doesn't matter whether she is true or not, it is important. This is to be guarded, to see what she wants to do."

Huilin shook his head: "I always feel that the emperor's move is like telling me that she did not kill Li Shan by mistake."

Liu Yunlie was silent.

He thought that the eldest princess would never mention these old things again. After all, she is not a person who likes to clean up her crimes. After the death of King Pingling, she was in power, and she was already in power, but she would rather He spent his energy on Lu Jingxing, and never complained for himself.

I don’t know who I’ve heard before. In the eyes of the princess, reputation is the least valuable thing.

So now, what happened to make her change her mind?

"How is my business doing?" Huaiyu happily took the construction drawings of the tributary channels of the Qulin River and dangled in front of Lu Jingxing.

Lu Jingxing took a deep look at her: "I have made a lot of money."

She has not been out of the first-tier cities, and no one is chewing her tongue, so Huaiyu still doesn't know that earth-shaking changes have taken place outside.

More than just earning a picture...

Lu Jingxing looked sideways and looked out the window. Jiang Xuanjin was standing in the courtyard. The fox fur cloak was blown slightly, and a jade crown was **** with the ink hair. He looked like someone who didn’t know anything from a distance. , Appreciate the wind and snow in this world alone.

"He asked you to write the complaint?" Lu Jingxing asked in a low voice.

Huaiyu gave a "Huh" and raised his eyebrows: "How did you know that it was his idea? But my writing is ugly, so he directly let Jiang Shen replace the pen. The second son of Jiang is not good at anything else, the fact of pen and ink is good, Those who choose words and make sentences can actually write the old things into big cases that can be recorded in the history books."

His eyes moved slightly, and Lu Jingxing pinched the cold fan bones for a long time before saying: "He is interested."

"He's not at a loss." Huaiyu hugged his belly and said, "Jun Pingling’s gift of thanks is here today. With a large box and a large box, my yard is almost full, and the shots are really generous. Presumably, there will be many contacts between Pingling and Ziyang in the future."

Lu Jingxing raised his eyebrows: "I remember in the three years of Daxing, you refuted someone's confession, saying that too many exchanges between fiefdoms are not good for the country."

"Yes, but Li Shan doesn't listen, and he doesn't even support Huailin." Huaiyu shrugged, "Because Li Shan is a prince, he knows that the exchanges between the fiefdoms will help consolidate the power of the prince. It is enough to fight against the court if you can fight against the lords everywhere."

Huilin felt that Li Shan was wholeheartedly for his good, so now he should understand that Li Shan was also selfish back then. While supporting him, he also made a way for himself.

It's also destiny to make people. Now she is on the road behind Li Shanliu, and is embarrassed with Huailin.

Taking a deep breath, Huaiyu felt a little bored, and said to Lu Jingxing: "I want to go for a walk."

Lu Jingxing shook his head firmly.

"Oh, I have stayed in the house for a whole day, okay? The doctor said, I have to walk more to have the strength to have a baby!" Huaiyu puffed up and looked outside." Today is the Winter Flower Festival in the Northern Wei Dynasty. In the Winter Flower Festival in previous years, we all have to go to the streets to drink, don’t we?"

Lu Jingxing shook her fingers at her: "The day before yesterday, you went out and shook the blue silk around. It made her look for you for a long time. She came back and stayed at the door of your room for three days without daring to move. She is still at the door. Outside. The day before yesterday, you went out to help someone grab your purse with a big belly. You scared Jiwu half to death, and also shocked the entire yamen. The thief who stole the purse thought he had stolen a large stack of silver tickets, but he chased it back. There are three copper plates in the purse. Yesterday...you finally didn't go out, Chi Jin personally cooked the hot pot to celebrate."

The first few sentences still made her face blush, but at the end, Li Huaiyu became angry: "Don't you call me if you eat hot pot?!"

Lu Jingxing stalled his hands: "You forgive them, call you, Chijin still dare to cook anything at will? You have to prepare three days in advance."

Huaiyu was a little bit dumbfounded: "My own stomach, don't I know? It's solid. It's fine in prison for so long, and it's okay with bumps along the way. How could it be possible to go to the street and eat something? "

Go two steps forward to open the door, Lu Jingxing turned around and said: "You want to breathe, just stand here for a while."

Reluctantly stood over, took a breath of the cold outside, Huaiyu curled his lips: "There is no fresh air in the street."

Lu Jingxing's forehead jumped straight, and he smiled and said: "You will just order it."

The eyeballs rolled steadily, and Huaiyu suddenly said: "Let’s do it, let’s compare the pot, if I win, you will let me go out, how about? The pot is what you are best at, and I didn’t win once. Over!"

Lu Jingxing squinted: "If I win, you just stay in the house?"

"Hmm!" Huaiyu nodded.

Jiang Xuanjin stood not far away with her back to them, but could clearly hear the two men joking.

She said: "You have beaten me for five years. What's wrong with me standing three steps closer to you?"

He said: "You did these three steps splitting your legs? Standing on the side of the pot is called throwing? That's called putting it inside!"

She was unhappy: "Then...two steps?"

He sneered: "It's better for you to stay in the house."

Jiang Xuanjin didn't look back, her dark eyes silently looked at the distant clouds.

Cheng Xu frowned slightly, and whispered: "Master, let's go back to the house? Ziyang has just sent a lot of documents, you haven't read it yet."

There was no response, and the man sat in front of him, his thin lips pursed white.

The posture over there has been set.

Li Huaiyu took three arrows and stood behind Lu Jingxing in despair. The line was eight feet away from the pot. She stared for a long time, looking at the direction of the wind and calculating her fortune. In the end, two arrows fell through, and only one arrow stuck into the mouth of the pot lonely.

With her head drooping, she wrapped the tiger skin cloak around her body, curled her lips and said to Lu Jing: "Don't you throw it so accurate?"

Lu Jingxing pinched the long arrow and turned it a few times between his fingers, humming: "I can throw it with my eyes closed. It's too difficult to guess."

"Then you close your eyes." Huaiyu went straight up, "Qingsi, bring a piece of white brocade for shopkeeper Lu to cover his eyes!"

Lu Jingxing: "..."

Qing Si did so, he reluctantly took Bai Jin and covered his eyes: "His Royal Highness is really persistent."

It's not that he is confident. He can play the game like playing pots for fun. He will win no matter who he is compared with, because he can't miss an arrow.

Bai Jin covered his eyes, faintly seeing some light and shadow, Lu Jingxing stood up straight, pinching the arrow and throwing it.

Huaiyu was taken aback, looking at this accurate head, she really wanted to hit, and once she hit an arrow, she wouldn't be able to get out!

She was a little desperate, she was already thinking about whether to force her out of the house.

However, just as the arrow was about to fall into the mouth of the pot, a pebble came from across the air, with a fierce momentum, and hit the arrow precisely.

When the direction was tilted, the arrow fell to the ground with a "slap".

Did not hear the expected pot sound, Lu Jingxing was very surprised, opened Bai Jin and looked at it, frowning: "Did you do your hands and feet?"

Huaiyu stood beside him, shaking his head innocently: "No."

While speaking, she glanced at the people standing on the other side of the courtyard.

Jiang Xuanjin didn't look at her, and stared at the flowered branches in the flower bed that had already died. She slowly gathered her slender hands and put them back in his fox fur cloak.

Retracted his gaze, Huaiyu smiled and pulled Bai Jin in Lu Jingxing's eyes: "You still have two chances."

Lu Jingxing was puzzled and looked at the location of the copper pot once more. After making a note of it, he closed his eyes and shot again.

With two slaps, two feather arrows with extremely accurate heads landed on the ground not far from the copper pot.

Looking at Bai Jin, Lu Jingxing was dumbfounded, Li Huaiyu almost jumped up with joy, clapped his hands and said: "Go to the street!"

"It's impossible." He couldn't understand, "Why didn't you enter?"

"Your hands are born!" Pretending to know nothing, Huaiyu comforted him, "I will practice more in the future."

After speaking, walk out with a cheer.

Lu Jingxing frowned and looked at the copper kettle for a long time. Finally, helpless, he took his cloak and followed the steps of the man ahead.

People from all parts of the Northern Wei Dynasty like camellia, so the Winter Flower Festival was specially set up on the day when the camellia bloomed most, for people to enjoy the flowers. In a barren place like Tier 1 cities, there hasn't been a winter flower festival for several years. But this year is different. There are many new Lu Ji Restaurant and Study in the city, and there is also a Gefang Music Hall to celebrate the festive season.

The people have food to eat, and the river is about to reflow, and all kinds of happy events are superimposed, making the street very lively.

Huaiyu looked at the people around with bright eyes, and exclaimed: "When we first came, there was only loess on the street here."

"Yes." Lu Jing walked beside her, blocking the turbulent crowd for her, "Thanks to your highness, the first-tier city is alive."

I couldn't stop laughing, Huaiyu rubbed the corners of his mouth and wanted to be more restrained, but was really happy: "Princess Danyang did a good deed."

Finally, she is not the scourge of the chaos that the people say. If there is another funeral, even if someone still points to her coffin and scolds, someone should be able to say something good for her.

Danyang is actually a good person.

Remembering the funeral lanterns on Chang'an Street that were written on the name of Danyang long ago, she subconsciously waved her hand again.

I won't wrong you this time!

Lu Jingxing glanced at her and helped her walk up to the Lu Ji restaurant next to him: "There are too many people, you go up and listen to a book."

"Okay!" Huaiyu walked away carrying her skirt, holding a swollen belly, and her footsteps were rare and light.

Business in the restaurant is very good today. There are not many vacancies on the second floor. Luckily, Lu Jingxing reserved a place and let her sit at the table closest to the storyteller.

With that shot of the gavel, the noisy upstairs quieted down, and when he watched the young storyteller’s voice sounded, Huaiyu was holding a small snack, and Lu Jingxing turned his head inadvertently and saw Another guest came upstairs.

Jiang Xuanjin had a cold face, found an empty seat, and sat down, Chengxu and Yufeng stood behind him, the three of them were really eye-catching, and as soon as they were seated, many people whispered.

The eyebrows were raised slightly, and Lu Jingxing glanced at the person next to her. She was fascinated by the book, as if she hadn't noticed at all.

The hand resting on his chin lightly tapped his lips. Lu Jingxing suddenly stretched out his hand and brought the tea to Huaiyu's lips.

Li Huaiyu both held the snack in both hands, and had no time to pick it up, so he took a sip with his hand, swallowed the snack, and said: "Why are you so good today?"

Lu Jingxing smiled: "Which day should I treat you badly?"

"A lot of times, I quarreled with me yesterday and said not to go to the main city of Danyang. I changed a new dress the day before yesterday, and you just said it was ugly." Li Huaiyu squinted, "Really when I have a bad memory?" /

Slightly choked, Lu Jingxing began: "I'm telling the truth, whoever loves to go to the main city of Danyang, which color is not good for your new clothes? Choosing a green amber color is ugly." /

"What does the first brew selection have to do with me?" Huaiyu snorted.

Lu Jingxing would like to say, if they choose, you can wear it? But Yu Guang caught a glimpse of someone looking here, he paused, leaned forward, and said to Huaiyu’s ear: “It’s a passing time. When the two cups of tea are finished, Your Highness will go to the cloth shop. One view? I'll make you two again."

"Forget it." Huaiyu said vaguely while eating, "I will forgive you if you take this jade bean bag again."

Chong Du smiled, Lu Jingxing called in his buddies and whispered.

Jiang Xuanjin didn't know why he came here. He didn't like the excitement, and he didn't like to see Lu Jingxing and Li Huaiyu getting close. But he was just sitting here, staring at them for a long time.

She said that dupliers like him are not very popular. Lu Jingxing was very good at talking, murmured a few words slowly, with tenderness between his eyebrows, able to make her laugh and take good care of her.

He is not by her side, and the smile on her face seems to be more real.

"Master." Chengxu is really distressed, "Shall we go back?"

"Yes, this place is really noisy." Yufeng also helped. "It's better to go back and look at the Buddhist scriptures that the second son found for you."

"Yeah." Jiang Xuanjin lowered her eyes and responded lowly, but when the person at the table got up and went downstairs, his feet still followed him as if not at his disposal.

If it was before, someone told him that the son of whose family was deceived and betrayed by others, and still couldn't let go of that person, and insisted on finding a way out. He would definitely say that the man was a fool, and he didn't know what he was doing, didn't he know it hurts?

But now, he stepped on the sandy ground of the first-tier city, clearly knowing how stupid he was and clearly feeling how painful he was, but he was still walking forward.

Why? He himself couldn't understand. After just half a year of warmth, the fox has been tamed, should he stay in a cage for the rest of his life?

Follow another street, Jiang Xuanjin thought, another street, and he will leave.

It was almost dusk when I came out, and it was dark after a while. Lanterns were lit up everywhere in the street, but there were still a lot of people. Huaiyu walked happily, and when he reached the entrance of the street, he inadvertently raised his head and saw the lantern hanging on the eaves of the second floor.

The lantern is round and bright, showing a bright light, like a bright moon in the sky.

……

"You look so good even when you are angry, I really want to go to the sky to pick the moon for you!"

"Pick it if you want, if you can't take it off, don't let me see you again!"

"The moon I picked for you."

"..."

"You said you wouldn't see me if you couldn't take it off. I said I would meet you'every year', don't you remember?"

……

As if it happened yesterday, it is too far away to touch. Huai Yu looked at it for a while, but his eyes were a little fuzzy.

There may be no one in the future, which makes her want to climb the stairs to pick the moon. Most of the paper lanterns that used to be placed in the main building of Moju are now broken into slag, and I don't know where they were thrown away.

Forget it, the fake is fake after all, except for her, no one would be so absurd to pick a lantern as the moon.

"The candied haws you want." Lu Jingxing followed from behind and reached out and handed her a bunch of big and red things.

Shaking his head, shaking off the fog in his eyes, Huaiyu smiled and said, "Do you think I am obedient or not? I didn't just run away, and I stood here waiting for you."

Lu Jingxing raised his eyebrows and took a closer look at her face, and felt something was wrong: "What's wrong? Isn't it all right?"

After a slight meal, Huaiyu yawned quickly and said with tearful eyes: "I'm sleepy, I want to go back to sleep."

"Okay." Lu Jingxing breathed a sigh of relief, "It's rare that you know you are sleepy."

Tucked at the corner of his mouth and smiled, Huaiyu looked down, and followed him back.

Jiang Xuanjin said to let her be ready, in that tone... it was really elegant even to hold grudges, unlike her, she looked really stingy and vicious.

How is he going to deal with her? After so many days, nothing seemed to happen.

Speaking of which, this person has lived in the first-tier cities for a long time, why hasn't he returned to Ziyang? Seeing the speed at which Ziyang sent the papers, it didn't look like he was idle, but he wasn't in a hurry, he didn't mean to leave for the journey for so long.

Is it possible that I don't want the first-tier cities to merge into Danyang, so I come here in advance and wait. Once she moves, he will stop it?

Thinking about it, this reason is the most convincing. Huaiyu settled down and planned to test him once to see what his next move was.

The yard was dark, only her room was lit, and Li Huaiyu opened the door, trying to say who was so considerate, and left the light, but when he looked up, there was no one in the house.

A round lantern was lit by the window, showing a bright light, reflecting the dark night sky outside, and she was taken aback.

Qing Si looked suspiciously, and asked the servant guarding outside the door: "Who is here?"

The servant is at a loss: "The minion has been guarding here, I haven't seen anyone!"
