Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 161 I've Got a Talk
No matter which dynasty, as long as it is a shrewd ruler, it always likes to take out the banner of "having fun with the people" and wave it a few times from time to time, so as to show off its image of being "close to the people". It’s just a political show, so it can’t be taken seriously. The same is true of the Chrysanthemum Appreciation on the Double Ninth Festival this time—don’t look at the emperors, queens, and even the princes and princesses in Luoyang. But in fact, this is not the case. Don’t you see that a group of extremely noble people are all stationed in the lakeside pavilion deep in the garden, and the big flags fluttering in the wind all unmistakably proclaim the reality of "the idler is far away" .

intruder?Hey, if there are really ignorant people who want to force their way in, the plainclothes guards will not be very polite. It is precisely because of this that although the scenery by the lake is beautiful, there are very few tourists. , that's all guards pretending to be tourists patrolling. As long as ordinary people get a little closer to the warning line, they will inevitably be blocked by the guards politely and resolutely. No one dares to make trouble indiscriminately, but Zhao Qiong's master and servant, one patronizing the righteous indignation of Li Xian's "evil deeds", the other patronizing random thoughts, walked absent-mindedly, and they rushed across the cordon in such a reckless manner. But all the guards in charge of security were annoyed, and it was inevitable that they would be given a slap in the face.

"oops."

Zhao Qiong was thinking about Li Xian's origin, when he heard the sound of shouting, he raised his head in surprise, and saw a ferocious face close at hand, he was startled and couldn't help it Di then exclaimed, and took two small steps back in panic, her face paled.

"Miss!"

The little maid beside Zhao Qiong was also very frightened, but when she saw that Zhao Qiong was startled, she became anxious immediately. With an exclamation, she stopped in front of Zhao Qiong, crossed her hips and yelled: "Bold, Ann! Do you dare to startle my lady and die?"

"How brave!"

The person who stopped Zhao Qiong's master and servant was none other than Ling Zhong, the Deputy Dianjun of King Zhou's Mansion——Ling Zhong has followed Li Xian's footsteps all these years. It shows that Ling Zhong's official promotion is extremely fast, and in just five years, he has been promoted from a mere eighth-rank incumbent to a high position in the palace's deputy Dianjun. Even more diligent, young and old, originally with his current status and identity, it was not worthwhile to do such a job of personally guarding the cordon, but because Yin Wang Li Xulun and Princess Taiping are all resting in Yanbohaomiao Pavilion , Ling Chongsheng was afraid that something might go wrong, so he personally led the guards. After the guards came down all morning, they did not know how many tourists who wanted to go to the lake. They were already exhausted mentally. The faces of all the subordinates scolded like this, how could they have any good looks, they cursed with a livid face, waved their hands, and planned to order their subordinates to arrest people!
"Zicuckoo, don't be rude."

After all, Zhao Qiong is a lady of every family. Although she is young, her knowledge is not bad. She was taken aback when she was caught off guard before. Seeing the banners of Prince Zhou's Mansion flying around the pavilion not far away, he immediately realized that his master and servant might have offended the people of King Zhou's mansion, so he dared not let the little girl gossip anymore without waiting for Ling Zhong Outburst, Zhao Qiong had already stepped forward, stopped the little girl Zijuan behind her, and then apologized softly to Ling Chong, "Don't be angry, the general, the little girl has broken in by mistake, and please ask Haihan to leave me alone." , I will leave immediately.”

"Humph."

Although Ling Zhong was annoyed at the rudeness of the little girl Zijuan, he didn't want to be too fussy. He could only snort with a cold face, and waved his hand, signaling Zhao Qiong's master and servant to leave quickly. The little girl Zijuan didn't appreciate it, and muttered angrily: "You are so crazy, sooner or later I will ask the master to catch you and put some boards on you, and see how crazy you are."

"What a crazy girl, come here, take..."

Ling Zhong was born as a fighter, and he has a lot of suffocation. He has always been soft and not tough. In his eyes, except for his master, everyone else is just a dog. Now he is angry again. A little maid was so presumptuous that Baohuan glared at her and wanted to order someone to be arrested, but before she finished speaking, she suddenly saw Li Xian in casual clothes appearing behind Zhao Qiong at some point, she was shocked, and said It just stopped in half.

"what happened?"

Li Xian quietly gave Ling Zhong a secret signal not to reveal his identity, and hummed pretendingly.

"No, nothing, misunderstanding, misunderstanding."

Ling Zhong couldn't understand which play Li Xian was singing at all, but he knew that he must not touch Li Xian's bad luck at this time, so he hurriedly said a few perfunctory words with a smile, waved his hand, and led a group of subordinates Hulala all withdrew.

"Thank you, son, for your help. Thank you, little girl."

As a child of an official, Zhao Qiong knew that the majesty of the imperial power cannot be violated. She had planned for the worst, but she never expected that a crisis that might be extremely serious would be so easily resolved invisibly , I couldn't help but have doubts about Li Xian's identity in my heart, but it was obviously not suitable to ask the bottom line on this occasion, so I could only give a polite blessing and thank you.

"It's a lot of work to raise your hands. You don't have to be like this. Chrysanthemums are the best in Xiaosheng. I saw that the girl has studied chrysanthemums before. I am very happy. If you don't give up, please give me more advice."

Looking at Zhao Qiong's pure and lovely face, a long-lost warmth kept rippling deep in Li Xian's heart, and he had the urge to hold her in his arms, so that he could feel pity for a while, of course It's impulsive, it's impulsive, but it's impossible for Li Xian to do this Meng Lang's move, so he returned the gift with a smile, and tentatively extended the invitation.

"Young master is overrated. The little girl only knows a little about chrysanthemums, but she is not really proficient. If I give you a word, I really dare not take it."

The atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was open, and the defense between men and women was not as strict as later generations. There were not too many restrictions on the communication between young men and women. In fact, young men and women from official families had a lot of contacts on weekdays. There are countless such activities. With Zhao Qiong's background and appearance, there are many suitors. In the past, when those young princes saw Zhao Qiong, they always rush to declare themselves, eager to show off all their wealth in one go. Seeing that Li Xian didn't declare his family name, he didn't even introduce himself, so he couldn't help being curious, while secretly guessing Li Xian's identity, he thanked him with a smile.

"Young lady is too humble. Xiaosheng saw that the chrysanthemums bloomed gorgeously over there. They seemed to be the chrysanthemum powder in the divine treasure, and they looked like zhe twigs. It's really hard to distinguish clearly. I wonder if the girl is willing to explain Xiaosheng's doubts?" Li Xian smiled slightly. Pointing to a cluster of golden chrysanthemums blooming extremely brightly by the lake, he extended the invitation again.

"This……"

Zhao Qiong loves chrysanthemums the most in his life, and he has done a lot of research on chrysanthemums. He naturally knows that Qufen and Zhezhihuang are the two most famous chrysanthemums. They are similar in color and shape, and it is almost difficult to distinguish them. The only difference is that koji powder has a light fragrance, while Zhezhihuang is odorless, and it can be recognized if it is close to the front. Now, after hearing what Li Xian said, I know that Li Xian really knows about chrysanthemums, not I pretended to understand when I didn't understand, and I felt a sense of confidant in my heart. I really wanted to communicate with Li Xian, but because Li Xian's identity was unknown, Zhao Qiong really didn't dare to get too close to this person, but he looked at Li Xian's face. With a heroic and handsome face, he couldn't say the words of refusal, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Hey, why are you so obsessive, shameless, don't go away, my girl is calling someone, miss, let's go!"

The little maid, Zijuan, didn't have a good impression of Li Xian, and she didn't think that Li Xian's "hero saving the beauty" was so great. Seeing that her young lady was embarrassed, she couldn't bear it, and reprimanded him unceremoniously. After a while, Li Xian grabbed Zhao Qiong's hand and was about to leave.

"Zicuckoo, stop messing around."

Although Zhao Qiong didn't know Li Xian's real identity, seeing Ling Zhong's respectful attitude towards Li Xian, he could guess that Li Xian's identity was definitely not simple, so naturally he didn't dare to let Zijuan offend him indiscriminately. With a light struggle, he got rid of Zijuan's pulling hand, and gave Li Xian another blessing with a dignified face, and apologized: "Little girl Zhao Qiong, the servant girl is rude, please don't take offense."

"Miss Qiong'er, you're being polite. It's such a trivial matter. Why bother? Why don't you ask Miss Qiong'er to help Xiaosheng out?" Li, invited again with some stubbornness.

Joan?He called it that before, why?Although Zhao Qiong has a forthright character, she is not a careless person. On the contrary, Zhao Qiong is very careful. Hearing Li Xian call the word "Qiong'er" so smoothly, it is not at all like what a man and a woman should have when they meet for the first time. His heart trembled involuntarily, his face flushed like blood, his silver teeth bit his red lips lightly, lowered his head, and slightly flusteredly pointed at what Li Xian pointed out. Cong chrysanthemum went.

"Miss, hey, wait for me."

The little girl Zijuan saw that her young lady had completely lost the dignified image she used to show to young men. She was dumbfounded at first, but when she realized that Zhao Qiong had walked a certain distance, she suddenly woke up and said angrily. He rolled his eyes fiercely at Li Xian, waved his small powder fist as a threat, then let out a cry, and hurried to catch up with Zhao Qiong's footsteps.

What a tough little girl!Li Xian was dumbfounded by Zijuan's actions, but he didn't bother to pay attention to it, so he smiled at himself, and walked steadily towards the place where the chrysanthemums were blooming, his steps were brisk and free...
