Chapter 402: Embarrassment
In the Ganlu Palace, there is still a scene of singing and dancing, which has long been expected by Li Xiu, after all, Li Yuan has relied on these to anesthetize himself during this time, unless Princess Pingyang comes, he will be more restrained, but when Princess Pingyang leaves, Li Yuan should still do something.

In contrast, Pei Lin saw the scene of drunken life and death in the main hall, but he was very indifferent, and at that moment, he strode up to Li Yuan, who was drinking with his chest open, and said loudly: "Old minister Pei Lin see Your Majesty!" β
Li Yuan was holding a wine glass with drunken eyes, accompanied by three beautiful concubines by his side, and the singing and dancing in the hall were connected, so he didn't see Li Xiu and Pei Lin come in just now, until he heard Pei Lian's voice, he turned his head to look with wide eyes, but when he saw that it was really Pei Lin in front of him, he couldn't help but stand up excitedly and said, "Eunuch Pei, why are you here?" β
"Your Majesty, I'm here with a colt!" Pei Lin pointed to Li Xiu beside him at this time, Li Yuan was so excited that he didn't even see Li Xiu beside him.
"Your Majesty, the princess is not feeling well, and the weather is getting warmer, so she asked me to bring a thin shirt made by her own hands to Your Majesty!" Li Xiu sent the clothes made by Princess Pingyang with both hands at this time, in fact, he should call Li Yuan "Father Emperor", but he didn't know why, Li Xiu just couldn't call it.
"Haha~, it's still Xiuning's filial piety!" Li Yuan was also very happy to see the clothes made by Pingyang, and after taking them over at the moment, he did something that Li Xiu never expected, Li Yuan actually took off the clothes on his body in front of them.
That's right, Li Yuan did take off his clothes directly, and now the weather is relatively hot, so in addition to the outer clothes, Li Yuan only has a set of underwear made of light yarn, and it is transparent, and it is transparent, I don't know when the trend arose, both men and women in Datang Guizhou like to wear light yarn, especially in summer, of course, they are generally made of underwear, and it must be pleasing to the eye for beautiful women to wear, but old men like Li Yuan also wear it, and the scene is a little miserable.
Li Xiu didn't expect Li Yuan to change his clothes in person, but he was thundered by Li Yuan, who was wearing a light gauze in front of him, and then felt that his eyes couldn't be opened.
"Don't you, do you think the clothes Pingyang made for me still fit?" Li Yuan changed his clothes and turned around in front of Li Xiu and Pei Lian, and then asked Li Xiu very happily.
"It's ...... It's very good, Xiuning has been doing it for a long time to do it! Li Xiu reacted when he heard Li Yuan's words, and hurriedly praised his wife's craftsmanship at the moment, and he had to say that it was not good.
"Pingyang also has a heart, and at this time, only she can still think of me as a father!" Li Yuan also said with some emotion at this time, "By the way, Pingyang's body is fine, do you want to send a few more imperial doctors?" β
"Thank you, Your Majesty, but Xiuning is just a little abnormal in the tire gas, and she needs to rest for a few days, so it's not in the way!" Li Xiu spoke again.
"That's good!" Li Yuan finally showed a relieved expression when he heard this, and then he looked at Pei Lin and said, "Eunuch Pei, why are you here today, is it possible that my unfilial son has finally shown kindness?" β
Li Yuan did not hide his disgust for Li Shimin in his speech, but Pei Lin didn't dare to do this, so he had to smile helplessly at the moment: "Your Majesty, in the past, this time of year was the time for us to drink and talk, and the prince also knew this, so I went to ask the prince just now, plus the horse helped, and finally the prince agreed to let me come to visit Your Majesty!" β
"Is it that time of year again?" Li Yuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said with a somewhat emotional expression, "I didn't expect time to pass so quickly, at this time last year, we were still talking in the palace, discussing how to calm the Turks and destroy Gaochang, but I didn't expect that in just one year, it suddenly became like this!" β
"Your Majesty......" Pei Lian's eyes were red when he heard Li Yuan's words, they were so high-spirited at this time last year, and they didn't even pay attention to the Turks in their speech, Li Yuan wanted to be a founding emperor who would be famous through the ages, and he was ambitious to be a generation of famous ministers, but unfortunately now they have all become empty.
"Hahahaha~, Eunuch Pei don't be a little daughter, as the so-called wine is drunk today, it's rare for you to come here, come and prepare wine, I want to go with Eunuch Pei and my son-in-law if I don't get drunk and don't return!" At this time, Li Yuan suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, and finally ordered the people around him, although he was under house arrest, there was still no shortage of people around him.
With Li Yuan's instructions, someone immediately came in and removed the remnants of the table in front of Li Yuan, and then there were palace maids who set up the three tables of wine banquet like a cloud of water, Li Yuan sat on the main seat, and Li Xiu and Pei Lin sat on both sides respectively.
"Dance!" I saw Li Yuan sit down and wave his hand and order, the musician next to him immediately started to play music when he heard this, and the dancers next to him also immediately came to the hall with brisk steps, and gently danced their bodies with the music, these dancers have changed a batch, after all, dancing is also a very physically demanding thing.
With the beginning of the dance music, Li Yuan also seemed very excited, and at the moment he raised a glass with Pei Lian, Li Yuan also knew that Li Xiu didn't drink, so he didn't force it, and he chatted with Pei Lin about some things back then, and the two were also in high spirits, and from time to time they also pulled Li Xiu to discuss together, but they didn't snub Li Xiu.
However, just when Li Yuan and Pei Lin were chatting about the eating, drinking and merrymaking they had when they were in Taiyuan, Li Yuan's face suddenly changed, and he pointed to the dancing girl in front of him and shouted: "What kind of dance are you dancing with twists and turns, go and call those Persian dancers!" β
Li Yuan's roar startled the group of dancers, and then crawled on the ground and begged for mercy, fortunately Li Yuan was just in a bad mood, and immediately let them leave, and then a few hot, scantily clad Persian dancers came in, and the music in the hall immediately changed, and began to become a Persian dance, and then these Persian dancers began to shake their chests and stretch their thighs and jumped, and the light gauze clothes could not cover their figures at all.
Li Xiu has not seen the world, in his previous life, he would also go in and out of some clubs and the like in the business field, and he also did things to act on the spot, but that also has to divide people, for example, Li Yuan next to him is his father-in-law, and watching the glamorous dance with his father-in-law is simply too awkward.
On the contrary, Li Yuan didn't mean it at all, and even argued with Pei Lianpin, commenting on which dancer has the best kung fu in bed, it can't be dirty anymore, this is the emperor and prime minister of a country, if their current words and deeds are recorded in the history books, I am afraid that future generations will fall to the ground.
"Isn't it a pity to have songs and dances, and not to be accompanied by beauties?" Just when Li Xiu was embarrassed, he suddenly heard Pei Lian on the other side suddenly laugh and said to Li Yuan, this old man is not serious, he actually asked Li Yuan for a woman directly?
"Hahahaha, what Supervisor Pei said is very true, I think when we first started the army in Taiyuan, you dedicated all the five hundred palace maids in Jinyang Palace to me, as the so-called people hugged them with peach, and I also thought it was Qiong Yao, and I came to give Eunuch Pei and the virtuous son-in-law a wine!" Li Yuan was not angry at all when he heard Pei Lian's request, but yelled at him to accompany them to drink.
Li Xiu almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood when he heard this, it was already embarrassing enough to watch the dance with his father-in-law, and now his father-in-law even let people accompany him to drink, even if the woman in the palace is just a palace maid, it is also Li Yuan's woman, let his woman accompany him to drink, this is too awkward!
In fact, Li Xiu also knows that his three views are seriously inconsistent with the Tang people, such as the above things are normal in the eyes of Li Yuan and Pei Lian, because the status of women is extremely low, even if Princess Pingyang is Li Yuan's daughter, but as Li Xiu, it is also appropriate to mess with flowers and grass outside, and it is even more common to listen to songs and dance with Li Yuan, but Li Xiu himself can't get over the hurdle in his heart.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... If you don't like to drink, you don't need to be accompanied, right? Li Xiu lowered his head at this time and said to Li Yuan stubbornly, he was really ashamed to be in the company of people like Pei Lian, of course, Li Yuan was not a good bird.
"Haha~, the virtuous son-in-law seems to be very strictly controlled by Pingyang, but it doesn't matter, today in my place, you can relax, even if Pingyang knows, he won't say anything!" Li Yuan laughed loudly, and then two beautiful women sat beside him, one left and one right, and Pei Lin on the opposite side was also treated the same.
"Your sister's!" Li Xiu scolded secretly in his heart, if it was someone else, he might still be a profligate wreck, but Li Yuan above was his father-in-law, how could he be profligate? This hurdle in his heart was absolutely insurmountable, so in the end he simply sat up straight, put his hands on the table and did not squint, looking like a decent man and a gentleman.
"Hahahaha~, I didn't expect that Li Juma, who is famous in Chang'an, is still a decent gentleman, it seems that His Majesty really has a good daughter, the princess's husband-taming skills are really powerful, even a man like a horse is tamed and obedient!" Pei Lin saw Li Xiu sitting precariously at this time, and even pointed at him and laughed, and at the same time, his other hand had already hugged the beauty beside him, looking extremely free.
"That's natural, Pingyang is deeply rooted in her mother's true heritage, when my queen was still there, I was almost like a concubine!" What people didn't expect was that Li Yuan also laughed and nodded in agreement, and by the way, he also blackened himself, but when he mentioned Queen Dou, Li Yuan was laughing and tearful, and he didn't know what he thought?
"Phew! It's not serious! When Li Xiu heard Pei Lian's teasing, he could only curse secretly in his heart, and he didn't bother to refute him, in fact, he couldn't refute it, after all, the generation gap between him and the Tang people was too big.
Li Xiu ignored the two old perverts, Li Yuan and Pei Lin said a few words and felt bored, so the two started chatting again, but it may be because there are women around them, but the content of the next conversation between the two is all about women, and it is also the content of the eighteen prohibitions, Li Xiu feels that he has to wash his ears well after going back.
But what's worse is that the two women around him saw him like a wooden stake, and they were unwilling, on the contrary, they laughed at Yan Yan to persuade Li Xiu to drink, and at the same time, they were not honest, and rubbed on Li Xiu's body from time to time, which made Li Xiu so embarrassed, and Li Yuan and Pei Lin saw Li Xiu's appearance at this time, and they laughed heartlessly again.
Compared with Li Xiu's embarrassment, Pei Lin was very open, chatting with Li Yuan, while drinking the wine sent by the beauties around him from time to time, and even the dishes were held hostage by another beauty for him, but unfortunately Li Xiu couldn't afford this kind of blessing.
Finally waited until the banquet was almost eaten, Li Yuan waved his hand to let the people around him retreat, and the remnants of the banquet were also withdrawn, and only the three of them were left in the entire hall, until this time, I saw Li Yuan say to Pei Lin with a solemn face: "Eunuch Pei, what is the situation in the court now?" β
As soon as Pei Lin heard Li Yuan's words, his face immediately changed, and he glanced at Li Xiu at the moment, and then said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the situation in the court is stable now, especially after the crown prince took power, he has implemented a lot of benevolent policies, coupled with the previous defeat of the Turks, both inside and outside the court praise the prince!" β
Pei Lin actually knew that Li Yuan didn't really ask him about the situation in the court, but asked him if the power in Li Shimin's hands was stable, but he was worried that there was Li Xiu next to him, so his answer was also very vague.
"Hehe, he is worthy of being my good son, and he has sat down in such a short time!" Li Yuan thumped his leg heavily when he heard this, but the expression on his face was very complicated, both angry and a little inexplicable.
"Your Majesty, actually...... In fact, the prince has done a very good job! Pei Lin was probably worried that Li Yuan was talking nonsense, after all, Li Xiu was also here, and the relationship between Li Xiu and Li Shimin was not bad, so he was afraid that Li Yuan's words would reach Li Shimin's ears, which would lead to more serious consequences.
"It's okay, Eunuch Pei, you don't have to worry about the donkey, I was unwilling before, and I wanted him to help me contact you, but unfortunately this kid didn't agree, and later persuaded me to let me write to you to obey Erlang's arrangement, and since then, I've died of this heart." Li Yuan also heard the meaning of Pei Lian's words, but he waved his hand at the moment.
Li Xiu also smiled embarrassedly when he heard this, although he helped Li Shimin, but that was also the condition for Li Chengdao to agree to before, and for the stability of the Tang Dynasty, as for the current matter between Li Shimin and Li Yuan and their father and son, he also made up his mind not to help each other, so even if Li Yuan and Pei Lin are plotting a coup d'Γ©tat now, he will only treat it as if he didn't hear it.
Pei Lin was also relieved when he heard this, and smiled at Li Xiu at the moment, and then continued to say to Li Yuan: "Your Majesty, in fact, before I came to see you, I had already asked the prince to resign, and it is estimated that the prince should agree!" β
"Resigned?" Li Yuan also immediately frowned when he heard Pei Lian's words, then thought about it and spoke again, "Eunuch Pei, I know that your current situation is not good, and you can avoid some troubles if you resign, but before you resign, you can do something for me!" (To be continued.) )
