This rebellion is not a rebellion of the other.

Cui Geng was dragged all the way by the petty official, and without much effort, he came to a row of windowless houses.

This row of houses is called a conservatory, and vegetables such as spinach, leeks, and cucumbers are planted in it.

There are many hot springs in Xiangshan, and the hot spring water is introduced into it and sealed to make the room warm as spring, which is convenient for the growth of these vegetables and vegetables.

It is not easy for the royal family to be able to eat fresh vegetables in winter, and generally speaking, these vegetables are reserved for the palace.

It's good now, it's all served by Princess Taiping.

Outside the conservatory, Princess Taiping changed her clothes and stood against the wind with a smile, as if she was waiting for Cui Geng's arrival.

She was wearing a robe, a crane cover, deerskin boots, a small hand stove, and a snow-white fox collar wrapped around her slender neck.

"Damn, this Princess Taiping is so beautiful!" Although he knew that his face was in trouble, Cui Geng couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart and secretly swallowed his saliva.

Princess Taiping had read countless people, and immediately saw through his careful thoughts, smiled slightly, and said, "What? Cui Tangjian regretted what happened in the carriage? Hongu can give you another chance. ”

"No...... No regrets......"

Cui Geng's face was a little embarrassed, and he quickly changed the topic and said, "The out-of-season vegetables of our hot spring soup supervisor are exclusively for Your Majesty. Although it is not that you can't enjoy it, princess, it's not appropriate to have a pot of serving, right? Besides, you can't eat all the vegetables by yourself, right? ”

Princess Taiping said casually: "The vegetables for the royal family are not eaten by His Majesty alone, and this princess wants to use these vegetables to feast guests, what's wrong?" As for whether it is appropriate or not...... Didn't Hongu leave you a note? Your Majesty is to blame, you just let Your Majesty ask me for the guilt. ”

Cui Geng smiled bitterly: "Even if there is that, our hot spring soup supervisor also has the responsibility of guarding." ”

"Oh? What is the duty of a caretaker? Then Erlang, you will bear it. Princess Taiping flashed her big eyes and said in a greasy voice: "Erlang, in the carriage, you promised the palace to compensate me in the hot spring soup supervisor, you can't talk without words, right?" ”

I~ day, dare to wait for me here!

Cui Geng almost wanted to cry without tears, and said: "But this compensation can't be generous to others!" ”

Princess Taiping patted Cui Geng's shoulder and comforted: "Okay, this palace will not harm you, if you do that errand well, not only can you be reinstated, but your majesty can forgive your majesty no matter how big your sins, what is it to eat some out-of-season vegetables in this palace?" ”

"Really?"

Princess Taiping smiled, and her eyes fluttered: "How can this palace be willing to deceive Erlang?" ”

As she spoke, she suddenly stretched out her hand, pulled Cui Geng's sleeve, and said, "Those vegetables have been picked in the palace, can they still be planted back?" A sheep is also driving, and the two are also leading, there are really a lot of good things in this hot spring soup supervisor, and there is nowhere to buy it if you have money, so let's do another big sweep. ”

……

……

An hour later, Cui Geng's face turned green, staring at the mountains of materials in front of him and said, "This ...... You're going to take all of this? ”

"Don't worry, how can this palace be so blind."

Cui Geng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, that's good." ”

However, Princess Taiping's next sentence directly dashed his hopes completely: "We have three or seven points for these things, and I have seven for you three." What do you think? Hongu is worthy of Jiro, right? ”

Immediately, he beckoned to Yang Xingyun behind him and said, "Take it......"

"Yes!"

Yang Xingyun was also in a lawsuit, and he shuddered and handed over a stack of papers, which was nothing more than that Princess Taiping took away something from the hot spring soup supervisor on a certain day, a certain month, and a certain year.

Li Lingyue signed her name without hesitation and handed it to Cui Geng.

It's all at this time, what else can Cui Geng do? I had to bite my heart and sign my name.

On the surface, the whole process is completely reasonable and legal, but in reality...... Legal fart, most of the things in this are for the emperor, okay?

The most important thing is that Cui Geng, the soup supervisor, also participated in the distribution of spoils. The evidence is conclusive, and if Junchen investigates a little, he will have to walk around without eating.

Cui Geng said with a bitter face: "I won't say anything superfluous, princess, you should always explain now, what did Your Majesty let me do on an errand?" ”

Princess Taiping smiled: "Erlang, don't worry, that errand is very simple, you just need to entertain a person." ”

"Who?"

"The prince of Tubo is all pine mangbu. He was ordered by Tubo Zanpu Chidu Songzan to envoy to the Great Zhou, but he occasionally felt cold and had a serious illness. Therefore, His Majesty let him temporarily stay and recuperate in the Longmen Hot Spring Soup Prison. ”

Cui Geng said strangely: "No, why don't I know that the envoy of the Prince of Tubo is such a big matter?" ”

"Du Song Mangbu got sick on the road and didn't enter Luoyang City."

Cui Geng still felt a little strange, and said: "Even so, the subordinate officials are not good at serving people, why does Your Majesty have to let me be this Longmen soup supervisor?" ”

Princess Taiping replied fluently and said, "Because Erlang, you have always been quick-witted." This is actually not much better, but he just refuses to enter the yang. Therefore, Erlang, your errand is to meet all his requirements, and make sure that he willingly meets His Majesty. ”

It's really logical, now that Da Zhou has lost to the Khitan twice in a row, and Wang Xiaojie has died in battle, it is the weakest time, don't you have to appease the old enemy of Tubo?

Cui Geng nodded and said, "Okay, then the lower officials will do their best." However, didn't Your Majesty arrange for the two of us to do this errand? What about you, princess? ”

Princess Taiping licked her lips and said, "This princess's errand, of course, is to accompany this Tubo prince well, I don't know if Erlang is jealous?" ”

Cui Geng was really a little sour in his heart, and said, "The princess said that she was smiling." ”

…

…

In Cui Geng's thoughts, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and no matter how much Da Zhou fails, it will not be enough to ask Princess Taiping to accompany the Tibetan prince without a name.

But the strange thing is that this Taiping princess is really not joking, she stayed at Dusong Mangbu's residence that night, and the prince of Tubo stayed in both sides ~ and flew.

Damn, is this really Wu Zetian's meaning, or is Princess Taiping's own spring heart rippling and she wants to change her taste?

In both public and private, Cui Geng felt very depressed.

However, the situation was stronger than people, and the next day he was able to meet the Tubo prince Dusong Mangbu as the supervisor of Longmen Hot Spring Soup.

In the main hall, Princess Taiping and a thin man sat side by side.

A wide robe completely covered his hands and feet. Looking at his face again, the white veil was half-hidden, revealing only a pair of big eyes as bright as pearls.

It seems that this is the Tubo prince Dusong Mangbu.

Cui Geng bowed and saluted: "Cui Geng, the soup supervisor of Longmen Hot Spring, see Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping, and see Her Royal Highness Prince Tubo." ”

Du Song Mangbu's voice was a little hoarse, and he said: "Cui Tangjian hurry up, this prince is recovering from a serious illness and can't see the wind, so he brought this white veil, and I ask Cui Tangjian to forgive me." ”

"You're so kind."

Cui Gengcai didn't care why this little white face was covered with white veil, and asked, "I wonder if His Royal Highness the Prince is still used to living here?" ”

Du Songmang preached: "The Great Zhou is worthy of being the kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, the utensils are beautiful, the diet is exquisite, and there is nothing that this prince is not used to." It's just that...... Except for my retinue, there are no Tibetans here who can talk to me, and this prince is very homesick. ”

Cui Geng thought for a moment and said: "This is easy to do, there are many Tubo merchants in Luoyang City, why don't you recruit them to accompany Your Highness?" ”

"No! In the past, Prince Ben made friends with some high-ranking officials and nobles, so what is there to talk about with some ordinary businessmen? ”

Cui Geng frowned and said, "What about His Highness's opinion?" ”

"There's no way, it's better to go back, it's better to go back!"

As he spoke, he stood up, hugged his fist slightly at Princess Taiping, and said, "Thank you princess for your hospitality, it's just that this prince has been out for more than a year, and he is very homesick, so I won't go to Luoyang." ”

"Don't mind!"

Cui Geng is really anxious, if the prince of Tubo leaves, what can he do if he makes those deficits in the hot spring soup supervisor? Again, no matter how rich you are, you have nowhere to buy it.

He hurriedly said: "If His Royal Highness the prince thinks that no one is talking, you can tell the minister." ”

Du Song Mangbu was a little skeptical, and said, "You? This prince has nothing to talk about with the Tibetan merchants, and you can't do it. ”

Cui Geng said: "How do you know if you don't try?" Although the foreign minister is not from Tibet, he is quite talkative, which must be enough to comfort the homesickness of His Royal Highness the prince. ”

Du Song Mangbu sat back again, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and said, "Okay, this king will believe you for the time being." ”

"Uh...... I wonder what His Royal Highness the Prince wants to talk about? ”

"Supervisor Cui Tang, say it."

"Why don't we talk about His Royal Highness the Prince's hobbies, what do you usually like?"

"Sleep."

Sleeping can also be considered a hobby? Cui Geng rolled his eyes and said, "Uh...... What about besides sleeping? ”

Du Song Mangbu spread his hands and said, "It's gone." ”

"That's right...... Well, let's talk about poetry and songs? ”

"Not interested!"

"Taking history as a mirror, you can know the gains and losses, do you want to listen to the ministers talk about history?"

"I don't want to hear it."

……

After chatting a few more words, Cui Geng understood no matter how stupid he was, this one was deliberately uncooperative.

What can I do?

Well, it seems that it won't work without a trick!

Cui Geng coughed dryly and said, "Xiaguan has a wonderful story, I wonder if the prince wants to hear it?" ”

It was only now that Du Song Mangbu showed some interest and said, "What story?" ”

The name of this story is "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which tells the story of the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the eunuchs were in power and the people were struggling to make a living. The Zhang Jiao brothers launched the Yellow Turban Uprising, and the officials and soldiers were terrified. In order to resist the Yellow Turban, Youzhou Taishou Liu Yan went out to recruit troops. In front of the list, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei met in Pingshui, like-minded, and became brothers with different surnames in Taoyuan......"

As soon as Cui Genggang said this, Du Song Mangbu had already frowned and interrupted: "The princes will intrigue with each other, fight and kill, what's the point?" ”

"This doesn't work, then let's change to a different one, but I said, I don't know which dynasty and which generation, there are one hundred and eight heroes led by Song Jiang who gathered in Liangshan to do the right thing for heaven and eliminate violence......"

"Hmph, a bunch of people are reckless, and they haven't polluted the ears of Prince Ben."

Cui Geng's heart was cold, and he secretly thought, this time it's over, "Journey to the West" in the four famous novels has already been circulated all over the world, and everyone must have heard of it. "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin" He didn't dare to be interested, could it be that he wanted to talk about "Dream of Red Mansions"? Love ~ love love, crying and crying, can the prince of Tubo be interested?

Alas, there is no choice, and it can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor.

Cui Gengdao: "There is another story here for the foreign minister: it is said that Nuwa refined the stone to make up the sky, and the remaining piece was unused and discarded under the Qinggeng Peak. This Tiantian Stone received the essence of the sun and the moon, gradually became spiritual, and was named the attendant of Shenying, responsible for irrigating a Zhuzhu fairy grass on the edge of the Spirit River. Later, the Shenying attendants went down to earth to make calendars, and the Zhuzhu Xiancao decided to also go down to earth as a human being, and repay the nectar grace of the Shenying attendants with the tears of his life......"

It's strange to say, as Cui Geng told the story, the eyes of the Tubo prince became brighter and brighter, and it seemed to be quite useful.

Princess Taiping was also very interested in "Dream of Red Mansions", and listened carefully with her hands on her cheeks. She suddenly smiled, frowned, and suddenly reddened, and she was really sad for the characters in the story......

In this way, Cui Geng talked from morning to noon, and from noon to the red sun falling in the west and the jade rabbit rising in the east.

Cui Geng took a sip of tea and said, "Your Royal Highness, it's not early, it's time for us to eat." ”

"Okay, after eating, I'll listen to the story of Supervisor Cui Tang."

"Uh......" Cui Geng smiled bitterly, "After eating, you should rest." ”

Du Song Mangbu waved his hand again and again, and said, "No, no, this king is not sleepy." ”

And that's not all!

In the end, Cui Genghao said that Du Song Mangbu agreed to rest for the time being today and continue to listen tomorrow.

Time is like an arrow, three days have passed in the blink of an eye, and Cui Geng's "Dream of Red Mansions" has been finished.

It is said that now that the prince of Tubo is well and is no longer homesick, it is time to go to Luoyang and meet Wu Zetian, right?

But people don't have the meaning of moving the nest at all, he said that Longmen Hot Spring is very good, and he listened to Cui Geng's story here.

What the? You say there's no new story? That prince is homesick, and he is going back to Tibet.

Who let us get on Princess Taiping's thief ship and make a deficit?

Helpless, Cui Geng could only continue to tell stories in search of his intestines.

Since "Dream of Red Mansions" is effective, Cui Geng can also understand the taste of Du Songmanbu. Isn't it just a preference for love? "The Legend of the White Snake", "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai", "Tianxian Pei" ...... One classic story after another.

In the blink of an eye, another ten days have passed, and Cui Geng no longer has to be forced to tell stories. Because Wu Zetian led the ministers to come to Longmen Tangjian for a vacation.

Du Song Mangbu was led by a minister to drink today, Ming'er was invited by a minister to enjoy singing and dancing, and the day after tomorrow was invited by Shangguan Wan'er to play Shuanglu with Wu Zetian, and had a lot of fun.

Cui Geng is happy to see this, Du Song Mangbu is satisfied with playing in Da Zhou, presumably Wu Zetian is embarrassed to investigate his insistence on self-theft. In fact, he even suspected that this "spoils" operation was a pit dug by the scheming mother and daughter for themselves.

Then, what he didn't expect was that the routine was much deeper than he expected.

On this day, in the middle of the night, at the third watch-

"Cui Tangjian, do you remember the old man?" A tall old man appeared at the head of Cui Geng's bed.
