Chapter 70: Priest Qingyang
Sima Cong's expression was calm, and his deep eyes were calm and showed no emotion or anger. Like Li Qinghan, he also saw her at a glance, but after just one glance, he looked away and stepped forward to talk to Li De
Chit chat.
Mrs. Li turned back and glanced at Li Qinghan, and saw that there was no impurity in her black and white eyes. She felt relieved a lot, so she held her hand and whispered: "It doesn't matter if you don't like the prince, this royal relative
Things in aristocratic families are not as simple as they seem on the surface. Qinghan, have you seen that? There are so many women in the women’s banquet over there, as well as those dignitaries in the men’s banquet, half of them
She is from Concubine Xian's family. Now Concubine Xian is in charge of the affairs of the harem. The former dynasty and the harem are inextricably linked. What's more, Concubine Xian has two princes in her hands. The prince is an adopted son. No matter how smart he is, he is not as smart as his own children.
Be obedient and easy to control. If you marry the prince, you must see clearly how many thorns there will be in the future!"
It was rare for the always gentle and taciturn old lady to say so many words. Li Qinghan was quite shocked. He looked up in surprise. Seeing that the old lady didn't look like she was joking, he lowered his head and said, "Qinghan, please remember your grandmother's teachings."
The old lady nodded, "I will never harm you."
When everyone arrived, the emperor slowly walked out with the support of the palace ladies. The muscles on his face were flabby and lifeless, his eyes were even more turbid and yellow, and his hair was whiter than before.
The layer, like the remaining leaves in the wind, can no longer hold up for long.
He must have taken too many elixirs, and the emperor was very interested in this stuff.
As soon as he came in, his eyes wandered around everyone, and then he touched his hands and laughed. Concubine Xian was frightened by her, and her eyebrows furrowed slightly. She was afraid that the emperor was going to be ill again, so she spoke first and said something better.
It's just a matter of polite words, and it's called singing and dancing.
This time, Li Qinghan was closer to the emperor, and it was obvious that the emperor's eyes had been fixed on one person. Following his line of sight, he turned out to be the petite woman next to Sima He.
At this moment, Li Qinghan suddenly felt that all the hairs on his body stood up.
She looked at that woman in disbelief. She had skin as thick as gelatin, a slender head, and an emei. Her flowers bloomed beautifully when she smiled, and withered when she was sad. Such a woman was really charming to the core.
Li Qinghan lowered his head in panic, took a sip of wine, and looked over again. Sure enough, he saw it right. It turned out to be Yu Wushuang!
Yu Wushuang had been complaining of illness since before she returned to the capital, so Hua Jian went to see her many times but didn't see her. Why did she appear here today? This is the palace!
Sima He drank wine with an expressionless expression. After finishing one glass, Yu Wushuang served him another glass. Sima He glanced at Yu Wushuang for a moment and saw that she was smiling beautifully, with beautiful eyes and a soft heart.
, but in the end no action was taken.
I think the emperor must have fallen in love with Yu Wushuang, so he stared at her with a pair of lustful eyes.
The singing and dancing were peaceful, and the music in the palace sounded very comfortable, but Li Qinghan looked restless. At this moment, she saw Sima Cong and Liang Youzhao meeting each other at the male guests' table. The fire that caused friction in that moment should not be underestimated.
It didn't take long for the dancers to retreat one after another, and the music stopped. The emperor was smiling, frequently looking in the direction of Yu Wushuang, and said: "Today is the day of the New Year, and I have specially organized this banquet to entertain you.
My ministers, although the snowstorm in the north is still there and there is no extravagance and waste in the palace, the old rules still have to remain the same. Today I have a big happy event to say."
As soon as he said this, Li Qinghan remembered what happened last time. He said that he wanted to announce a good thing and pointed Wei Ruonan to Sima Cong. As a result, it ended up in this situation. He couldn't help feeling a little panicked and looked up.
Looking at Sima Cong in front of him, he looks calm. Compared to before, he is much more mature and calm.
"I have welcomed another highly respected Taoist priest who is willing to refine elixirs for me to increase my longevity," he said loudly with excitement on his face, "You should all have heard of this Taoist priest's name," he said
At this point, he turned to look at Li Desuan again, and said with a smile: "Prime Minister Li, Taoist Priest Qingyang is willing to come out to assist me this time. It is all your credit. I will reward you!"
Li Dexuan, who was sitting in the seat, broke into a cold sweat when he heard this. He had always disliked these deceitful bullshit priests. When the emperor ordered him to do this, he almost fainted. He was a dignified prime minister.
If it was okay to find a way to control the snow disaster, it would be too much to ask him to find that Taoist Qingyang.
At this time, a woman wearing a plain white robe walked in from the palace gate. The edge of the robe was trimmed with navy blue thread. Her hair was high and combed meticulously. She had no makeup on her face. She had a piece of dust in her hand and her shoes.
There was no dust on him, and he looked like a banished immortal. Although he didn't smile, he could see a faint smile in the corners of his eyes.
The noble concubine frowned, and the emperor next to her actually stood up. With a smile on his face, he came up to her and said, "Taoist Master, you have worked hard all the way. Please come and take a seat."
Li Qinghan's eyes almost popped out of his head. How could Taoist Priest Qingyang come to the palace and become the emperor's guest even though he was staying well in Qingyang County?
She turned her attention to Yu Wushuang who was following Sima He, but saw that her expression was indifferent, and her smart eyes kept looking at Sima He in front of her. Her eyes were full of love, and Sima He often looked back.
I chatted with her for a few words and seemed to be in love with her.
Li Qinghan was a little confused. Taoist priest Qingyang smiled brightly and said, "The common people are honored by the emperor. It is the common people's honor to have this honor today. It is the common people's honor to work for His Majesty the Emperor."
Taoist Priest Qingyang had a modest smile, neither too arrogant nor too humble. Concubine Xian's face looked a little unattractive. She turned around and said goodbye to the eunuch who was standing close to her, "When did the emperor find this person?"
The eunuch said softly: "It was suggested by the fifth prince to reply to the imperial concubine, so the emperor handed over this matter to Prime Minister Li."
At this time, the emperor over there had already pulled Taoist Priest Qingyang to sit in the first position below. Everyone in the country knew that the emperor believed in these things the most, so naturally no one dared to disrespect this Taoist priest.
Soon the eunuch prepared drinks for Taoist Qingyang. Taoist Qingyang picked up the wine glass and said: "I am just a commoner. I am very honored to be valued by the emperor."
The emperor laughed, as if he saw some rare treasure in his eyes, "You're welcome, Taoist Master."
Sima He suddenly brought the wine and said to the emperor: "Congratulations to the emperor, father, and congratulations to the Taoist priest. It's just that the Taoist priest works hard in Qingyang County and has a very indifferent view of fame and fortune. It must be because of my father that he came out today."
