Back to Datang with weapons

Chapter 397 I'm Envious of Your Vision! (Please subscribe!)

"Your Majesty was joking, I just told a story. As for what kind of decision to make, it still depends on Your Majesty..."

Are you kidding me, I can't accept this pot now!

Zhang Twelve probably guessed what Tang Emperor was struggling with, and it was nothing more than the question of whether the prince should be abolished!
He may want to abolish, but he is not courageous enough. What I just said just gave him an injection. If he makes a wrong decision now, it will bring disaster to the country and the people in the future. That's why Emperor Tang made up his mind to abolish the prince...

Although he was also happy to see the crown prince being deposed, it wouldn't sound good if it got out!
A person's thoughts can influence the king's decision, this is exaggeration!
"You, you..."

Emperor Tang pointed at Zhang Twelve and smiled, but didn't say anything.

This Zhang Twelve, the advantage is that he is smart, but the disadvantage is that he is too smart.

You are usually quite courageous, but when it comes to this matter, why are you so timid?
But it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if he doesn't want to get involved in the affairs of the royal family, if he wants to intervene in the court affairs with such a great ability, it will not be a good thing for Datang in the long run.

let him!
So Emperor Tang said again: "Twelve, tomorrow is the Shangyuan Festival, what plans do you have?"

"Your Majesty, this is also the first time for me to celebrate the Lantern Festival in Jingzhou. I only heard that tomorrow night there will be a grand poetry gathering in Wenxianglai. All the talented scholars and beauties in Jingzhou City will go there. Twelve is also looking forward to it. I plan to go and enjoy it tomorrow. Woolen cloth……"

Zhang Twelve felt that Emperor Tang must have something to ask him to do when he asked this sentence. Although he didn't know what it was, it was right to refuse - it seemed that there was not much good for Emperor Tang to ask him, so he hurriedly told him about tomorrow's plan. Yeah, let him know he's busy...

Unexpectedly, Emperor Tang laughed directly after hearing this: "It's so good! Yilan has been pestering me recently and wants to go out of the palace during the Lantern Festival. Since you are going to go there, why don't you take Yilan with you!"

"........."

This... how could it be like this?

If the pot really wants to hit you, you won't be able to hide...

It's not that Zhang Twelve hates Princess Yilan and doesn't want to take her out to play. The main reason is that he was scared after what happened last time!
What's more, the streets will be crowded with people tomorrow night, making it even more unsafe, so he wouldn't dare to take Princess Yilan out if he had the guts!

"Your Majesty, I just remembered... because this is the first time I have returned to Zhang's house, I will have to worship the ancestors in the manor tomorrow, and I am afraid that I will not be able to come out..."

Zhang Twelve racked his brains to come up with such an idea.

"You don't come here! This matter is settled, just come to pick up Yilan tomorrow! If you don't come, let's see how I deal with you!"

"........."

What a pit!

Thinking of this, Zhang Twelve turned around and prepared to go out.

"By the way, you must protect Yilan's safety after you go out. I believe you will be able to. If anything happens to Yilan, hum!"

"........."

Zhang Twelve wants to cry but has no tears...

Because the holiday will be the next day, so Zhou Quan made an announcement in the restaurant that night. On the day of Shangyuan Festival, the "Twelve Restaurant" will be closed for a day, so everyone in the family is also free, especially the one who has been busy recently. Lu Yuner and Zhang Tangyu, who were running around telling stories in the restaurant, also had time to rest.

Everyone also knew that the Shangyuan poetry meeting was held at "Wenxianglai". If Mr. Xiao still told stories that day, they would be even more embarrassed. Is this listening to stories or going to the poetry meeting?
And the decision of "Twelve Restaurant" to take a holiday undoubtedly solved this problem for them...

…………

The next day is the annual Shangyuan Festival. In Zhang Twelve’s time, it was also called the Lantern Festival on the 15th of the first month. Southerners ate glutinous rice balls, and northerners ate Yuanxiao. Last year’s Lantern Festival, Zhang Twelve still celebrated the Lantern Festival with I spent it eating Yuanxiao, and today, or in the future, I am afraid I will spend it at the Shangyuan Poetry Conference...

On this day, lanterns are hung in front of every household early in the morning, big and small, with different patterns and shapes.

Because it was still early, the sun had not yet come out, and a layer of fog had fallen, the streets were all gray, and the light of these lanterns was particularly obvious, whether the lights were bright or dark, or far or near, Looking from a distance, it looks like lights hanging on the horizon, lit and rubbed one by one, it is very beautiful.

Fire at thirty, lamp at fifteen, the old saying is true.

The Spring Festival has passed half a month, and now it is the Lantern Festival, and the spring atmosphere is strong. The lights all over the city are the beginning of a year of prosperity.

Along the moat that has just melted ice, the river is gurgling and flowing, and countless lanterns are floating on the water, shaking slightly, in different shapes, some are lotus flowers, or peonies, competing for beauty and beauty.

The reflections of the lamps are reflected in the river, and each lamp is a shadow, above and below the water, reflecting each other, just like the stars falling in the water, which is unparalleled in beauty.

Zhang Twelve still remembers when he was a child, when the Lantern Festival came, the adults would dig holes in the radishes to put oil, make some radish lamps, light them and shake them in the children's ears, which symbolizes the new year. To be able to see and hear, to be academically successful...

The children of the Zhang family got up early, dressed up and ran around in the yard, and the noise of children chasing and chasing was also heard on the street. The lively atmosphere continued to ferment throughout the day...

Zhang Twelve also got up, wearing a silk brocade padded robe that the old lady asked her servants to prepare yesterday, and a white waistcoat over it, looked at the bronze mirror several times, and even said something to himself "Really handsome", the maid next to her couldn't stop laughing coquettishly...

Several other women also got up, and they all changed into beautiful new clothes, and the holy maiden of the Yue Kingdom also went to do as the Romans did, and changed into a Tang Dynasty women's costume, which was even more glamorous.

It was the first time to come to Datang to catch up with such an important festival, and the saint of Yue Kingdom was also very happy, but she felt a little sad when she thought that she would return to Yue Kingdom after the Shangyuan Festival...

…………

There are not many things to do during the day, everyone is eating melons and fruits and chatting in the mansion, and the grand meeting begins at night.

In the afternoon, Zhang Twelve explained to Du Lang, asking him to take a few brothers to accompany Lu Fujing, Chen Qiaoxi and the Holy Maiden of the Yue Kingdom to "Wenxianglai", while he himself planned to go to the palace first , to pick up Princess Yilan, I just hope that what happened last time will not happen this time...

After entering the palace, he was led by Wu De to Suyi Palace. Along the way, he still told Zhang Twelve, saying that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty would take the lead, and the princess must be protected. Zhang Twelve could only nod his head, thinking to borrow Even with a hundred guts, I dare not protect her well...

Soon after walking outside the gate of Suyi Palace, Wu De gave a report, and then the door was opened, and Princess Yilan, who was wearing a beige fringed skirt, came out, her eyes narrowed when she saw Zhang Twelve. Crescent Moon, it can be seen how long she has been looking forward to this day...

Such a poor girl, just take her to indulge once!

Bringing Princess Yilan out of the palace, Princess Yilan will not take a carriage this time, it is rare to come out, she must enjoy the scenery along the way, if she stays in the carriage, what is the same as in the palace Can't see the same, what's the difference?
Naturally, Zhang Twelve had no objection. Since Princess Yilan said so, wouldn't it be a shame if he refuted it again?
The city is full of traffic, and there are pedestrians everywhere, people coming and going, like a tide.

Everyone is holding snacks or lanterns bought from the street, with happy and contented smiles on their faces, and there are even young ladies from wealthy families who are walking around the market with dozens of servants carrying various gifts. , crowded the street to the brim.

On the way, Princess Yilan was still the same as when she came out last time, she was full of novelty about the things on the street, she kept walking around and asking questions, as if every inch of land outside the palace was full of great attraction for her...

Speaking of it, Zhang Twelve, who has only been in Datang for more than half a year, knows little about the customs of the Tang Dynasty, but he must not say much, so when Princess Yilan asked, Zhang Twelve said what he knew, If you don’t know, just edit it!

Wouldn't it be too disappointing for Princess Yilan if she didn't say anything?
What?Is this a lie to the princess?
Hehe, can you say you're lying when it comes to coaxing women?
And with Princess Yilan's pure mind and weak experience, naturally she couldn't tell that Zhang Twelve lied to her...

When the two were walking on the street, a young man who looked like a peddler suddenly came over, stopped in front of Zhang Twelve and Princess Yilan, and smiled at them.

This made Zhang Twelve very vigilant. Because of the assassination incident last time, he became more cautious when he took Princess Yilan out this time. Suddenly someone jumped in front of them, and Zhang Twelve directly blocked them. Standing in front of Princess Yilan, she was ready to deal a fatal blow to the man in front of her at the slightest sign of trouble, as if facing a formidable enemy!
The man first bowed to the two of them, and then said with a smile: "Xiaosheng has been on this street for a long time, and suddenly a white light flashed in front of his eyes. After looking for the white light, he realized that it was the young master and the young lady! The young master is suave, Handsome and unrestrained, he is a rare hero in Jingzhou City! The young lady has bright eyes and white teeth, gentle and charming, and she is a rare beauty in the world! Standing together, the young master and young lady are like people in jade. The world is full of light, so Xiaosheng suddenly felt his eyes brighten up!"

"........."

As soon as the young man spoke, Princess Yilan, who was behind Zhang Twelve, blushed. She looked up at Zhang Twelve's tall and straight back, and then looked down at her slender figure, and even lowered her head in shame. The head, the red clouds on the face, are very moving...

But Zhang Twelve's face did not change, he just uttered a sentence lightly:
"I envy your eyes."

"........."

"........."

As soon as these words came out, the small environment of the three of them suddenly became quiet, and the silence was scary...

Princess Yilan was always ashamed, but when she heard Zhang Twelve's shameless answer, she wished she could bury her head in the ground. Fortunately, Zhang Twelve was standing in front of her, otherwise she felt that she would definitely be ashamed...

And that young man was also overwhelmed by Zhang Twelve's words...

To be honest, he often does such things as bragging and farting. When he first started bragging so violently, even he himself would blush from such blatant and shameless bragging. have it?

But today I met an opponent. Not only was he not shy, but he also admitted it generously, and even praised him for his good vision...

God, come to Dao Lei quickly, and kill this pretender!
If it wasn't for the sake of life, the young man would definitely turn around and leave, but for the sake of life, he resisted the urge to hit someone, and still kept a professional smile on his face, although it was a little stiff...

"This young man is really funny, no wonder even such a beautiful young lady can secretly agree with him!"

"Hehe, so-so, Datang is the third!"

"........."

I will endure!I can't bear it anymore!

The young man clenched his teeth and said to himself...

"It's the Shangyuan Festival, and the young master has a beauty to accompany him. Hasn't the young master thought about buying something for the beauty?"

"No."

Zhang Twelve answered neatly, because he had already seen the bouquet behind this guy.

Damn, just sell flowers, why are you talking so much useless?I can be woken up by myself every day, is it still useful for you to say?

snort!I am most annoyed by these people who are talking and not doing business...

The young guy decided not to go around in circles, because he was afraid that he would not be able to control his hands and smash the bouquet on the face of the man opposite...

Why are you so shameless?

"My lord, it is said that a beauty is like a flower. Xiaosheng happened to have a bouquet of flowers in his hand. It is fragrant and beautiful, and it matches the lady's temperament perfectly! Xiaosheng has the guts to sell this flower to you. I wonder if you are willing?"

The young man thought to himself that I have said everything like this, and in front of the beauty, this person will definitely not refuse even if it is out of face, right?

But he overestimated his own judgment, or underestimated the thickness of Zhang Twelve's skin...

"I don't want to!"

"Don't you think that such a beautiful lady with this beautiful flower is a perfect match?"

"do not think so!"

"........."

The young man was about to cry, but he still wanted to make one last effort. After all, after selling this bouquet of flowers, he would have money to buy Lantern Festival and go back to celebrate this Lantern Festival...

"Xiaosheng thinks that this young lady will definitely like this bouquet of flowers, the young master might as well agree to the beauty's wishes..."

"Surely you haven't heard that people are more beautiful than flowers, have you? Compared with people, this flower is not beautiful! So you better go!"

Zhang Twelve admired the courage and perseverance of this peddler. If he had been in Zhang Twelve's era, he would definitely be able to earn millions a month in sales, marry Bai Fumei, become the CEO, and soon reach the pinnacle of life...

Therefore, reincarnation is a technical job, and he obviously chose the wrong time and the wrong person, so Zhang Twelve would not spend an extra penny for a woman who is not his own!
It is so principled!
The young man was about to cry. He decided that even if he threw the flower away, he couldn’t sell it to this pretender.

If I can’t afford it, then I can always hide it, right?
Just when the young man turned around to leave, he heard a nice voice——

"Wait!"
