Where there is wine and singing, there must be a princess. This is true not only in the Tang Dynasty, but also thousands of years later.

The title is still the same, but the identity is different.

The adult princes and princesses of the Tang Dynasty can be said to be the most boring people in life.

Except for the prince, other princes and princesses cannot interfere in political affairs or make friends with civil and military officials. Being too ambitious is a way to get into trouble. Therefore, the princes and princesses are like losers after being broken up in love. They have nothing else to do except make money and indulge.

Princess Wanchun was obviously very keen on all kinds of banquets. Gu Qing met the prince twice, and she was always there. Moreover, she also liked to sneak into the palace.

If he wanted to assassinate the princess, Gu Qing could easily draw a picture of Wan Chun's whereabouts in advance. She was either attending a banquet or on the way to a banquet. A thousand years later, this girl would be a typical second-generation white, rich and beautiful girl.

, living in a bar every day.

A woman of the same age as Gu Qing plays like this every day, and her spirit is so empty.

Complaints are complaints, and there should be no lack of etiquette.

Gu Qing hurriedly saluted Wan Chun.

Wan Chun acted like a princess and hummed lightly.

Li Heng was indeed very enthusiastic about Gu Qing, and Gu Qing's visit without warning gave Li Heng the illusion that Gu Qing was here to seek refuge with him.

This illusion made Li Heng extremely happy.

After Gu Qing came to Lishan to rescue him, he became more and more important in Li Longji's heart. He was granted an unusual title and was awarded the title of General of the Left Guard at the age of twenty. Recently, I heard that Li Longji was going to transfer Gu Qing to Anxi for training.

, various signs indicate that Li Longji wants to reuse him.

The East Palace has countless guests and guests. Li Heng even summoned the guests to analyze and study Gu Qing in detail. After Li Linfu's death, several factions in the court fought with each other. The most important ones were the East Palace and the Xiangdang faction. The former Li Linfu

Li Heng was so suppressed that he couldn't hold his head up, but recently Yang Guozhong and Dong Gong were also having trouble dealing with each other.

This is inevitable in the power struggle. There will inevitably be conflicts between the East Palace and the Prime Minister.

Then Gu Qing may be the foreshadowing that Li Longji made in advance. As a substitute, if there is a storm in the court, Gu Qing can take up an important position at any time to balance the court situation.

Judging from Li Longji's nepotism in his later years, this is very possible. In short, Gu Qing will definitely be a very important role in the court in the future.

Gu Qing took the initiative to come tonight, which is undoubtedly a great benefit to Li Heng.

The lonely princeling's power is boundless and lasts for generations to come.

Li Heng immediately ordered someone to give him a seat. Gu Qing's low table was placed next to Li Heng, and on the other side was Wan Chun. The two of them were on Li Heng's left and right, like two generals.

A guest who came without warning inexplicably became the guest of honor at the banquet in the East Palace.

After Gu Qing sat down, he respectfully offered the prince a glass of wine. Li Heng was so happy that he drank it down in one gulp, then waved his sleeves, played music, and danced.

Drinks and glasses were exchanged, and the whole hall was filled with laughter.

Perhaps because of Gu Qing's arrival, Li Heng was in a particularly high mood tonight. About halfway through the banquet, Li Heng was already a bit drunk. He stood up and staggered to drink wine from the officials in the palace.

Gu Qing was a little anxious. He didn't come here to drink tonight. He had something serious to say. Seeing the prince in such a state, how could he have a chance to talk to him about something serious?

Wan Chun had been quietly observing Gu Qing from the side. When he saw that his expression was calm but he was carelessly playing with the wine cup in his hand, Wan Chun suddenly understood something and quietly moved towards him.

Gu Qing smelled a refreshing fragrance at the tip of his nose. He looked up and saw Wan Chun's fair and delicate face so close to him. Gu Qing was startled and leaned back unconsciously.

"You look restless, could something be wrong?" Wan Chun asked quietly.

Gu Qing said without hesitation: "When I went out just now, there was soup simmering in the kitchen, and I forgot to turn off the fire..."

Wan Chun rolled his eyes at him and said, "He's full of crooked words, huh!"

Gu Qing thought for a while, then took the initiative to come over and ask, "Does Your Highness know Du Hongjian, the Dali Sizhi?"

Wanchun raised his chin, nodded towards a middle-aged man wearing a brocade robe on the lower left side of the hall, and said, "He is."

Gu Qing immediately picked up the wine cup and stood up, walking to Du Hongjian.

Wan Chun saw that Gu Qing was behaving strangely and was restless tonight. He also asked about an irrelevant counselor in the East Palace. Wan Chun blinked and stood up. He followed him silently and hid behind a singer.

Behind him, he observed the two people three or four steps apart.

Gu Qing walked up to Du Hongjian, smiled at him first, and then held a cup in greeting.

Du Hongjian was confused. He and Gu Qingsu didn't know each other. He didn't understand why Gu Qing came to propose a toast to him, but he still raised his glass and drank it all.

"I have heard for a long time that Du Sizhi is an outstanding scholar and a very good character. He is an important minister whom His Highness the Crown Prince relies on for support. I, Gu Qing, am honored to meet Du Sizhi."

Du Hongjian hurriedly said politely: "The Marquis of Gu County praised him so much that the lower officials were frightened. The talent of the County Marquis is famous all over the world. I am lucky to know the Marquis of the County."

Gu Qing laughed, the atmosphere between the two strangers chatting was a bit dry.

So Gu Qing simply got straight to the point and said: "I'm sorry, Du Si Zhi, but I have a small matter and I want to ask Du Si Zhi for help. Let's talk about it in a simple way. Don't be offended by Du Si Zhi."

Du Hongjian said hurriedly: "I don't dare to use the word 'beg' as a lower official. Please say so, Marquis Gu."

Gu Qing sighed: "The lower official has a friend named Zhang Huaisheng, who is the grandson of the late wise prime minister Zhang Jiuling. Unfortunately, this man was a profligate person and accidentally offended his third son, Du Feng, who took over his three silk and satin shops.

, the Zhang family's income is meager and they only rely on three silk and satin shops to survive. I also asked Du Si to show his kindness and spare the unsatisfactory junior of the Zhang family for the sake of the late virtuous prime minister. I am willing to subsidize some money to make up for the loss of the son.

,how?"

Du Hongjian was shocked: "Is this happening? Du Feng him... The official swore that he would never know anything about it, otherwise he would not let the dog run wild. After returning, the official taught him a lesson and asked him to return the three Zhang family stores immediately.

"Don't blame me, the Marquis of Gu County. This matter is Quanzi's fault. I will turn around and ask him to go to the Zhang family to make amends."

Gu Qing finally felt relieved, laughed, and exchanged a few words with Du Hongjian before returning to his seat with the empty wine cup.

Wan Chun hid behind the singer and listened to the conversation between the two. A pair of distant eyebrows frowned unconsciously.

"Zhang Huaisheng?...Zhang Huaijin? I heard that he is different from Zhang Huaijin of Zhang Siqing's family. Is he asking for help for her? Humph!"

Wan Chun felt a burst of anger in his heart. He couldn't explain why he was angry, but he was very angry.

Looking at Gu Qing, who was not far away, happily pouring and drinking to himself, compared to the restless appearance just now, Gu Qing was much more leisurely and calm at the moment, so...he took the initiative to come to the East Palace tonight not to seek refuge with the prince, but purely to

Such a trivial matter?

Wanchun bit her lower lip with her white teeth, twisted her slim body, and walked out of the hall.

Outside the palace, the deacons and maids from the princess's palace were standing in the corridor and waiting in a formal manner. Seeing Wan Chun coming out, the maids hurriedly greeted her.

Wan Chun ordered in a calm tone: "Go find someone to check if there is a person named Zhang Huaisheng in the house of Zhang Jiuzhang, the minister of Honglu Temple, and find out his ins and outs..."

Dai Mei frowned, and Wan Chun added: "By the way, check on Du Feng, the third son of Du Hongjian, the Dali Sizhi, and report back immediately."

The deacon maid took the order and left the East Palace in a hurry.

Wanchun stood alone on the corridor outside the main hall of the East Palace, looking up at the full moon in the night sky. The cold evening wind blew her forehead, and the bright moonlight reflected on the side of her face, as pious as a girl worshiping the moon.

Holy.

I heard that he is going to the Fourth Town of Anxi soon. I don’t know how long it will take before he returns.

Anxi is a place where wars have been going on all year round. In such a dangerous place, if something goes wrong...

Thinking of this, Wan Chun felt confused.

Love is like a seed. When it breaks out of the ground, there is only a touch of green. Unknowingly, it has grown into a vine, entangled with threads, making it difficult to separate.

The funny thing is that he has very little interaction with her. In his heart, maybe she is just a unruly and willful princess, and he should avoid her as much as possible.

In fact, Wan Chun was not unruly. People at the time described her as humble, polite, and generous. But in front of him, she was always particularly irritable for some reason. No matter what he said or did, she always seemed to be possessed by evil spirits.

I can't help but stand on the opposite side of him.

Seeing that he was about to go to Anxi, Wanchun became more and more irritated. Should she be like an ordinary woman, being gentle and obedient to him?

That's too frustrating. How can a noble person lose his price like this? For a man, do you even give up the dignity of a princess?

Can't do it!

Wan Chun raised his head and snorted arrogantly. When he turned around and walked into the palace, his expression returned to his proud and cold look. In his steps, he walked out of the majesty of a Princess of the Tang Dynasty, taking steps as if he would not recognize her relatives.

…………

After the banquet was over, Li Heng was already eighty percent drunk.

Seeing the dull look in the prince's eyes as he bid farewell to the guests, Gu Qing shook his head slightly.

Forget it, the only gain tonight is that the Du family has been taken care of. As for the prince, I'm afraid I won't have the opportunity to say anything more.

The guests all left one after another, including Princess Wanchun. Before she left, she gave Gu Qing a hard look and snorted for some unknown reason. Gu Qing was confused for no reason.

Is this crazy bitch sick? Hum with a hammer and you poke the skin of the melon.

"This imperial sister seems to be very special to Gu Qing." Li Heng came up to him at some point and chuckled in his ear.

Gu Qing was startled when he saw that Li Heng smelled of alcohol, but his eyes were not dull, but very clear.

"Your Highness..."

Li Heng smiled faintly: "Thought I was alone and drunk? Haha."

Gu Qing couldn't help but admire him.

Regardless of whether the emperor or the prince, their ability is second, and their acting skills are really good.

Li Heng waved away the eunuch who came forward to help him, and ordered all the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace to leave, and then he casually found a seat and sat down cross-legged with Gu Qing.

"Gu Qing came to visit today. I originally thought you were here to surrender to Gu, but later I gradually figured it out. With Gu Qing's personality, I'm afraid he wouldn't surrender to anyone without any reason, right?"
