Chapter 28 The Emperor Summons
Princess Taiping smiled sweetly, squatted down and asked, "Do you want me to get a few more discs for you?"
Pei Shaoqing took the plate of rice cake from Princess Taiping, and saw that one of the rice cakes was missing a small corner. It seemed that someone had just gnawed, so he asked casually: "Did you gnawed?"
"You can't use a better word?"
Princess Taiping glanced at him and reached out to take away the rice cake.
However, Pei Shaoqing was faster and reached out to pick up the rice cake and stuffed it into his mouth.
Princess Taiping was stunned for a moment, then her pretty face turned red and said angrily: "Why are you like this? You rob others of the leftovers?"
"I know you want to throw away this rice cake." Pei Shaoqing said seriously, "It's shameful to waste food. Do you know how much sweat farmers have to shed for this small rice cake?"
"I know, I'm even nagging more than my mother."
"You just haven't tasted hungry."
While talking, Pei Shaoqing suddenly felt a chill on his back.
This feeling seems to be targeted by some creature?
Pei Shaoqing still thought it was Wu Zetian, and subconsciously looked up at the jade stairs.
However, the jade steps were empty, and Wu Zetian had long disappeared.
Wu Zetian naturally would not stay in Hanyuan Hall to eat in the corridor with his ministers.
Not Wu Zetian?
Then who else can be there?
Just when Pei Shaoqing was confused, he suddenly noticed a purple-robed official on the right side looking at him. The feeling of being targeted by an unknown creature just now came again.
Pei Shaoqing suddenly turned his head and his eyes locked at the purple-robed official.
This purple robe official looks handsome. He must have been a handsome guy when he was young. Well, he is also an old handsome guy now.
The purple-robed official's eyes met Pei Shaoqing, then lowered his head and enjoyed the food in the corridor as if nothing had happened.
Pei Shaoqing's brows frowned suddenly. Who is this birdman? I don't know you at all. Why stare at me with such murderous eyes?
Have I eaten your rice?
Princess Taiping suddenly came up.
"He is Xue Guan, the Minister of Zongzheng Temple, the son-in-law of my aunt Chengyang, and Xue Shao's father." Princess Taiping curled her lips and said, "Now you know why he sees you like that?"
Pei Shaoqing suddenly realized that it was Xue Shao's man, no wonder.
When the two talked, their heads were almost opposite each other, looking very intimate.
The handsome old man raised his head again and gave Pei Shaoqing a warning glance.
Pei Shaoqing was furious. What's wrong with me when I said a few words to Princess Taiping? Is it so scaring me? Is it giving you a face?
Today, my master is going to talk to Princess Taiping. Not only do he have to talk, but he also wants to hook her up as a palace. What? If you have the ability, come and bite me, fuck!
At this moment, Pei Shaoqing got Princess Taiping closer and almost kissed her.
"Is it because I hooked up with his future daughter-in-law?" Pei Shaoqing said with a low smile.
"Bah, who has hooked up with you, shameless." Princess Taiping leaned back and hid from Pei Shaoqing while angrily, "Besides, I haven't responded to this marriage yet, why have I become his Xue family's daughter-in-law?"
"Hey, didn't you say the marriage has been decided?" Pei Shaoqing said with a low smile, "Is it because of me? So you don't want to choose Xue Shao as your prince-consort?"
In history, Princess Taiping was very happy to choose Xue Shao as her son-in-law.
Could it be that because of his little butterfly, Princess Taiping changed her mind?
"Bah, I think I'll give you a beautiful face." Princess Taiping spat at Pei Shaoqing, but her face turned redder.
The two of them spoke warmly with their heads close together, and finally some heavyweights couldn't stand it anymore.
A young man wearing a bright yellow round neck shirt came over and said to Princess Taiping: "Taiping, my mother asked you to go to Penglai Palace to have lunch with her."
"knew."
Princess Taiping stood up and ran away with her skirt.
Pei Shaoqing bowed to the emperor and said, "The Cao people pay homage to His Highness, King Ying."
When he attended the court meeting just now, he already knew that the young man in front of him was King Li Xian.
Li Xian looked cold and did not return the gift. He glanced at Pei Shaoqing and walked away.
Pei Shaoqing couldn't wait for the sound of flatness for a long time, so he had to get up by himself.
"After all, it's a prince, so it's understandable that he has a bigger temper. Don't mind Pei Xiaolangjun." A voice sounded.
When Pei Shaoqing looked back, he saw that there was already a young military general around him. It was Wu Sansi, the right guard general who had "spoken for justice" for him before.
"My name is Wu Sansi, and I am the General of the Right Guard."
"If Mr. Pei is free in the future, he must go through the palace and talk."
"My mansion is in Xiuxiangfang. It's easy to find when entering the Nanfang gate."
At this time, Wu Sansi didn't know if it was because he had just returned to Chang'an, and he was completely despicable from the historical records. Instead, he seemed particularly low-key and respectful to the wise and humble.
"One other day, the people of the grass will definitely visit you." Pei Shaoqing naturally would not refuse.
From the moment he decided to engage in political ties with Wu Zetian, he and the Wu family were already in the same camp, and Wu Sansi is now "his own person".
Seeing Pei Shaoqing like this, Wu Sansi was overjoyed.
Turning back and waved, Wu Sansi called three green robe officials over.
"These three are Yang Jiong, Lu Zhaolin, and Luo Binwang, all of whom are bachelors of Hongwenguan." Wu Sansi said, "The poems and essays of Wenqu Xingjun you just recited were copied by the three of them."
Finally, Wu Sansi added another sentence: "Our own people."
"I heard of the great name for a long time." Pei Shaoqing quickly bowed.
Pei Shaoqing was really famous for his four heroes in the early Tang Dynasty.
Yang Jiong and the other two were still weak and had not recovered.
Obviously, the 1024 Tang poems hit them really hard.
Pei Shaoqing was very worried. Will they dare to write poems again in the future?
While the few people were greeting each other, a sharp and thin voice suddenly sounded in their ears: "Pei Xiaolangjun!"
Pei Shaoqing was shocked and when he looked back anxiously, he saw that there was an old eunuch with a cold face beside him.
This old eunuch didn't know when he came, but he didn't hear any footsteps. Are you a cat?
"Eunuch Yu!" Seeing the old eunuch, Wu Sansi, Yang Jiong and the other three quickly crossed their hands to salute, and their expressions seemed a little scared.
Pei Shaoqing was also shocked when he saw this.
Pei Shaoqing immediately saluted with his hands crossed.
The old eunuch glanced at Pei Shaoqing and said, "The Emperor summoned me and come with our family."
Emperor Li Zhi and Pei Shaoqing's heart sank. What did he summon me to do? Will he force me to cleanse myself?
The old eunuch took two steps, and when he saw that Pei Shaoqing had not followed, he turned around and smiled in a gloomy way, saying, "What? Is Pei Xiaolangjun going to disobey the Emperor's will?"
Pei Shaoqing's cold sweat broke out.
The old eunuch's eyes were like a knife, making him look like a thorn on his back.
Before today, Pei Shaoqing never thought that human eyes could be so uncomfortable.
