Chapter 111 Princess Yuzhen's "evil thoughts"
After the dancer left the stage, the audience applauded again.
After Chang An touched his stomach, he took out his chopsticks and put some food into his mouth, and at the same time, he did not forget to add some food to Gu Li's bowl. Gu Li also used chopsticks to pick up a piece of fish for Chang An, and this time he picked up a large piece. The bowl, which was not very big to begin with, was almost full of the fish.
Before the next performance began, Princess Yuzhen asked again, "Brother, is the young master Wang who played the pipa just now your friend?"
"Not bad." Li Fan nodded and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I wonder if you have any of Mr. Wang's poems?" Princess Yuzhen asked again.
"I have heard of several poems about this. One of them is: Red beans grow in the south, and several branches sprout in spring. I hope you can pick more, as this is the most nostalgic thing." Li Fan replied after twirling his beard and thinking for a while.
Princess Yuzhen nodded and said, "This is the most lovesick thing. It would be a good poem."
"Not only is it a good poem, but it is also a poem he gave to his good friend as a reward, which shows the friendship between him and that friend." Li Fan said with a smile.
"Oh?" Princess Yuzhen immediately became interested and asked, "Who is Wang Langjun's friend? Did he attend the banquet?"
Li Fan pointed at the Chang An couple sitting on the second seat on the right and said, "That's Chang Yonghe, Mr. Chang. I heard that Chang Yonghe was very kind to Wang Mojie. He can be said to be a close friend."
"I've heard of Chang Yonghe, but I didn't expect that he could sit in the second seat and on the same level as my nephew." Princess Yuzhen also looked at Chang An, who was sitting in the second seat and whispering with Gu Li.
"He is His Highness's man, of course he can." Li Fan smiled and said.
"So that's how it is." Princess Yuzhen looked in the direction of Chang'an and nodded meaningfully.
After a short rest, Chang An and Gu Li also ate something to fill their stomachs. After hearing the sound of Li Guinian beating the gong, they each drank a glass of wine and tea, and then raised their heads.
At this time, Chang An and Gu Li saw a beautiful woman standing on the stage in red clothes and holding two swords. They were stunned for a moment - isn't this Gongsun Da Niang? After seeing Gongsun Da Niang, Gu Li looked around again and asked:
"Madam Gongsun is here, so is Young Master Du here too?"
"I'm here, but not here," said Chang An.
"Why? Did Chang Lang see him?" Gu Li was a little puzzled.
"It's not just what I saw." Chang An thought of this and held his forehead with his hand again.
"Okay." Gu Li knew that Chang An was keeping him in suspense again, so he simply stopped asking. At this time, Li Guinian began to play music, and the musicians also began their own performances. Gongsun Da Niang's sword dance also began with the music.
At this time, Gu Li asked again: "Can Young Master Du see Madam Gongsun's sword dance? He seems to like Madam Gongsun's sword dance very much."
"It should be possible... it should be possible to see it." Chang An was also unsure, "It depends on where he finds it. If it's a place with a bad angle, it will be a pity."
Gongsun Da Niang's sword dance was still so gorgeous and breathtaking. Chang An watched her sword dance and began to understand why Du Fu was like a little follower at that time. Wherever there was Gongsun's sword dance, there was Du Fu. It was never boring to watch, even Chang An himself felt that it was never boring, let alone Du Fu who was still a child.
Just as they were enjoying the show, Chang An and Gu Li heard a female voice beside them: "Excuse me, madam, where did you buy this hairpin on your head? It's so beautiful."
The two of them looked in the direction where the sound came from, and found that Princess Yuzhen had approached them at some point, holding a teacup in her hand, and was looking at them with a smile.
"You two must be Mr. Chang and Ms. Gu, right?"
After Gu Li came back to his senses, he smiled and replied, "This hairpin was made for me by my lover when we got engaged. I didn't buy it."
"Then I wonder where it was made?" Princess Yuzhen continued to ask.
"This..." Gu Li now focused her attention on Chang An, and Chang An answered for her: "To answer the princess, it is in the jewelry store in the West Market."
This answer was a bit ambiguous. There were many jewelry stores in the West Market, and Chang An obviously did not say which jewelry store it was. But Princess Yuzhen did not ask any more questions, but changed the subject:
"I wonder, Mr. Chang, do you know what the pipa music just now was?" Princess Yuzhen sat down and continued to ask with a smile.
"To answer your question, Princess, the pipa piece should be called 'Yu Lun Pao'." Chang An replied calmly.
"Mr. Chang, have you ever heard of it?" Princess Yuzhen asked again.
Chang An began to sweat secretly at this time. It was obvious that Princess Yuzhen's words were a trap. If Wang Wei stepped on it, he would be finished. But the other party was a princess, the most beloved sister of Emperor Minghuang of Tang. If he didn't answer, both he and his beloved daughter-in-law would be dealt with.
Chang An had no choice but to answer: "The gentleman who played "Yu Lun Pao" is my friend, and the song seems to have been composed by him."
"Then I wonder if Mr. Chang knows where Mr. Wang has gone?" Princess Yuzhen's true thoughts were all revealed at this moment.
Chang An shook his head and replied with a hint of regret: "I'm sorry, Princess, I really don't know about this."
Princess Yuzhen looked at Chang An for a while, nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Then I have nothing to do. Sorry to bother you two."
"No, no." Chang An nodded slightly towards Princess Yuzhen, "Have a good time, Princess."
When Princess Yuzhen returned to her original seat and sat down, Gu Li leaned close to Chang An's ear and asked, "Chang Lang, why does the princess want to ask about Lord Wang?"
"I guess she has taken a fancy to our Brother Mo Jie and wants to take him as her consort." Chang An said in a low voice, then secretly glanced at Princess Yuzhen who was sitting on the main throne to make sure she was not looking at him.
"Ah!" Gu Li covered her mouth with her hand, "Is this true?"
"I don't know, but I'm afraid this will be the ending." Chang An took a sip of wine and looked at Aunt Gongsun on the stage, wondering what he was thinking.
"It's okay, Chang Lang, don't worry." Gu Li put one of his small hands on Chang An's big hand and said, "Doesn't Wang Langjun already have an engagement now?"
"Yes, what's wrong?" Chang An nodded.
"That's right, isn't it? The imperial examination will be held soon, and Chang Lang has recommended Wang Langjun to Prime Minister Song. Of course, Wang Langjun will definitely win this imperial examination."
"When Wang Langjun has achieved fame, he can go back to his hometown to marry a wife. By then, even the princess will have no reason to force Wang Langjun."
Chang An raised his eyebrows at this time——
That's right. In the original history, Princess Yuzhen introduced Wang Wei, so the two of them became closer. But now, the person who introduced Wang Wei has changed from Princess Yuzhen to me, so now the two of them probably have no chance. As long as Wang Wei doesn't have much contact with Princess Yuzhen, there should be no problem - unless Princess Yuzhen really intends to force it, but the probability of this is not very high.
Only at this point did Chang An relax. When Gu Li felt that the person he was holding seemed to relax, he gave him a sweet smile.
"Why didn't I think of this?" Chang An smiled and stretched out his finger, tapping Gu Li's nose. Then he leaned close to Gu Li's ear, pretending to say something, and when Gu Li held her breath and prepared to listen carefully, he suddenly kissed her temple.
"My mother Gu is really smart."
It feels so good to run away after doing something bad! Chang An thought so. Then, as if admiring the spoils of war, he watched Gu Li, who was blushing a little, stuffing food into her mouth to hide her shyness and embarrassment. Both sides of her cheeks were slightly bulged by the food. At this moment, she looked like a goldfish, very cute.
At this moment, Gongsun Jianwu on the stage did not seem as beautiful as the scene before him.
"Chang Lang...can you please stop looking at me..." Gu Li's voice at this time was a bit like a mosquito's hum, but Chang An still heard it, "It's a bit embarrassing..."
"No!" Chang An held Gu Li's little hand and said fiercely.
Gu Li's face seemed to be even redder at this time, but Chang An said it was no good, so she couldn't force him not to watch. What if her Chang Lang was sad?
"Well...if Changlang likes to watch it...then watch it."
Looking at Gu Li's shy look, coupled with her two puffed-up cheeks, Chang An liked her more and more. While watching, he poured a cup of tea for Gu Li, leaned in front of her, and said lovingly:
"Slow down, drink some tea, don't choke."
Gu Li glanced at him, took the tea from his hand, and then drank the food in her mouth with the tea. After swallowing, she let out a long sigh of relief. At this time, Chang An habitually poured her a glass of water, but at this time, he seemed to have thought of something and asked:
"Mother Gu, have you been coughing less recently?"
"Is there?" Gu Li frowned, then took the cup of tea from Chang An's hand and said, "I don't know. When Chang Lang is free, take me to see a doctor and we'll tell you."
Chang An smiled and said, "Okay, when I find a time, I will take Gu Niang to the clinic to see Doctor Zhang."
"Okay!" Gu Li laughed and drank all the tea in the cup.
