Wu Yanxiu's eyes flashed and saw that it was Princess An Le whom he had just met and his eyes flashed.
Just now when Wu Chongxun brought his wife to pay his respects to this cousin who had just returned from the Turks, when Wu Yanxiu saw An Le's peerless countenance, he was shocked and his heart was shaken and he could not control himself. Luckily he remembered that An Le was a princess and also his uncle Wu Sansi's eldest daughter-in-law so he did not dare to have any thoughts of being rude.
But Wu Yanxiu did not dare to think but An Le dared to do it. When An Le saw Wu Yanxiu's handsome face and strong physique, she could not help but feel amorous.
Ever since the last time she slept with Du Wentian and was caught in bed by her husband, although Wu Chongxun loved her so much that he did not dare to criticize her for such an intolerable matter and secretly endured it, he became more and more guarded against her coming into contact with outsiders.
An Le herself did not know what chastity was and to achieve her goal, she could easily untie a man's skirt and did not even care if the old or the young were beautiful or ugly. To satisfy her desire to conquer, she was willing to offer her body to those men who were not willing to treat her nicely but she was interested in them.
Other than that, she liked to taste different men and enjoy the thrill of clandestine love affairs. For such a slut, even if Wu Chongxun was an indomitable man with an indomitable spirit and was in perfect harmony with her, he could not stop her from flirting and indulging herself. Moreover, Wu Chongxun had always been subservient in front of her and this made An Le sick of him.
During this period of time, because of Wu Chongxun's guard, An Le did not steal for a long time and had endured for a long time. When she saw this cousin's handsome and strong physique, she could not help but feel a trace of lust. Therefore, when they were chatting, she would throw flirtatious glances at him behind her husband's back. When Wu Yanxiu saw this, he could not help but feel a little restless.
He had already sensed that this sister-in-law's skirt was very loose and she was not a good woman who was as clean as ice and as clean as jade. Facing such a beauty, he could not help but have some wild thoughts and hoped that there would be an opportunity to get intimate with her. Now that An Le also said that he wanted to watch the dance, Wu Yanxiu's soul was about to vanish from her body; immediately she wanted to agree.
The reason why he didn't want to agree to Zhang Changzong's request just now was because he felt that he was exposing his own scars for other people's amusement. Now that there was a beauty he admired who was pretending to be a little girl and asking him to teach her how to dance, Wu Yanxiu could also use this as an excuse to avoid embarrassment, so he happily agreed. Wu Yanxiu nodded to An Le with a smile, and said in a clear voice: "Princess flatters me. Since that is the case, Yanxiu will dance for you. If there is anything inappropriate, please forgive me."
There were a lot of guests today. Other than Wu Sansi and Zhang Changzong, everyone else was seated separately without any order. In order to make it easier for them to greet the guests, the Wu princes were all seated in the middle of the tables, so that they could greet the guests closer. Naturally, the guests would not have to be arranged according to seniority.
Wu Sansi was holding a banquet today, and he had already greeted Yang Fan. Since King Liang had done so, he had no choice but to come. However, he didn't want to appear too close to the Wu clan. Because of this convenience, he deliberately chose a seat near the back. Behind him was a massive pillar, so he leaned against it and drank in a leisurely manner. He could also see the entire hall from top to bottom, which made him quite relaxed and carefree.
"Hey! Do you know how to dance the Hu Xuan? "
A familiar child's voice suddenly rang out in his ears. Yang Fan didn't even turn around. He could tell from the voice that it was Li Shiniang from the Prince of Xiang's estate. Yang Fan listened to the stirring beating of the jie drum and looked at the singing and dancing Wu Yanxiu. He replied, "I don't know how."
Li Chiying was delighted. "Ha! So there are things you don't know! Even I know how to dance the Hu Xuan. "
Yang Fan turned his head to look at her. To his surprise, he discovered that Li Chiying had already changed into a man's clothes. She was squatting at his side like a delicate and pretty attendant. Yang Fan was surprised. "Why aren't you sitting with your sisters in the rear residence? Why are you dressed like this?"
"Why do you care? Even my father hasn't scolded me! " Li Chiying wrinkled her nose at him. Then she pouted and said, "Look, isn't An Le also sitting in the front hall?"
This little girl is quite stubborn. Yang Fan laughed and said, "An Le is already married. You're a young lady waiting to be married."
Li Chiying giggled and said, "Wrong, wrong. I'm a little girl who hasn't grown up yet. I don't care so much."
At this moment, thunderous cheers suddenly came from the hall. It was Wu Yanxiu who had finished her dance. With an extremely difficult spinning movement, she stood steadily on one leg. Princess An Le took the lead in applauding and cheering. Beside her, Wu Chongxun's face darkened but he did not dare to say anything.
Zhang Changzong's face was full of disdain. He clapped with a faint smile and said to Daoist Li lazily, "What do you think of Duke Huan's Hu Xuan dance?"
Daoist Li didn't even raise his head and said slowly, "I only know how to read physiognomy. I don't know how to dance."
Wu Yanxiu saw Princess An Le applauding enthusiastically and couldn't help but smile at her. Suddenly hearing the Daoist's words, she felt that she had lost face in front of a beauty. She was extremely unhappy and said, "I didn't expect Daoist Li to have such skills. What do you think of my physiognomy?"
Daoist Li finally raised his eyes and looked her up and down. He said slowly, "Both ears have no wheels, eyebrows are low, and eyes are low. Just as one tribulation is over, another tribulation is coming."
Wu Yanxiu was startled and anger appeared on her face. She forced herself to restrain and said, "This Daoist, please speak clearly. Just as one tribulation is over, another tribulation is coming."
Li Hongtai was obviously here on Yang Fan's orders to set up a trap for Zhang Changzong. He didn't mind helping Zhang Changzong offend a few more people. On the contrary, he was going to leave after today's banquet. No matter how many bad debts he had, he would eventually be blamed on Zhang Changzong. Li Hongtai laughed and said loudly, "Benefactor, you've already met the previous tribulation. It's the Body-Bind Realm. The next tribulation will naturally be the Life-Bind Realm."
Wu Yanxiu was furious. She took two steps forward and shouted, "You Ox Nose! Speak clearly! What tribulation is this Duke facing and when will he die!"
Li Hongtai smiled faintly and said, "The mysteries of heaven cannot be revealed."
Wu Yanxiu was furious and was about to pounce on Zhang Changzong. However, Zhang Changzong straightened his body and narrowed his eyes threateningly.
Seeing this, Princess An Le suddenly giggled and clapped her hands lightly. She said in a sweet voice, "Daoist is really good-looking and his physiognomy is really vivid. Everyone who lives for a hundred years will eventually die. Cousin, even if you live for another seventy or eighty years, you will still die in the end. When that time comes, will you praise me for being accurate? "
Once An Le said this, there was a burst of laughter in the hall.
An Le smiled sweetly at Li Hongtai and said in a sweet voice, "May I ask Daoist, what do you think of my physiognomy?"
This An Le was teasing him sincerely. Not only was her voice sweet, it was also full of charm. In many men's hearts, her voice was like a feather tickling their hearts. It was extremely itchy. Looking at her charming look, it was even more dazzling. Wu Chongxun saw that she was flirting again and was so angry that his face turned black. Wu Sansi saw that his daughter-in-law was revealing her flirtatious side and his face also darkened.
Li Hongtai's eyes met with Princess An Le's and his heart skipped a beat. He quickly lowered his gaze and thought to himself, "This woman is really powerful. Could she be the reincarnation of a nine-tailed fox spirit? Why is she so charming?"
Li Hongtai's eyelids were lowered and his face remained emotionless. In the eyes of others, they felt that this Daoist really had some cultivation. At least his Dao heart was firm enough. Li Hongtai lowered his eyes and said, "This female benefactor's eyes are like limpid autumn waters, the color of peach blossoms, the waist of a snake and the eyes of a bee.
An Le did not understand. She only understood the meaning of these words. It seemed that he was praising her unparalleled beauty. She could not help but asked happily, "What does that mean?"
The corner of Li Hongtai's mouth twitched slightly but he still replied indifferently, "The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed."
Suddenly, a low 'gugu gu' laughter came from beside Yang Fan's ears. Yang Fan turned his head and saw Li Chiying covering her mouth and laughing so hard that her body was trembling like a happy little hen. He could not help but asked in surprise, "What are you laughing at?"
Li Chiying's shoulders shook and she laughed secretly for a while. Then she leaned over to Yang Fan's ear and whispered, "That Daoist is not a good person. He is secretly saying that An Le does not follow the ways of a woman and is dissolute and evil. He is bullying me because I do not understand."
Yang Fan did not know anything about physiognomy. When he heard Li Chiying say this, he couldn't help but ask in surprise, "How do you understand?"
Li Chiying puffed out her small chest and said proudly, "I have followed the Dao since I was young and have seriously read some Daoist classics."
Wu Sansi heard this Daoist praise his daughter-in-law's unparalleled beauty in public and felt it was even more improper. He coughed and shifted everyone's gaze, saying, "This Daoist must have some cultivation to be so highly regarded by Duke Ye. I wonder, what does Daoist think of our Duke Ye's physiognomy?"
Li Hongtai bowed and said, "Duke Ye has the physiognomy of the Son of Heaven and is indescribably noble!"
These words immediately made everyone gape. This Daoist was Zhang Changzong's customer and did not need to ask to know that he would praise his master's physiognomy. However, Zhang Changzong had become a duke at a young age. Everyone knew that he was rich and indescribably noble. Why would he need his physiognomy? It would not be easy for him to say something new. Who knew that he would not stop until his words shocked everyone to death?
Zhang Changzong had the physiognomy of an emperor?
Just thinking about it made people shudder.
Wu Sansi was first shocked and then overjoyed. He had once worked together with Wu Chengsi to deal with the officials loyal to Li Tang who had obstructed his aunt's ascension to the throne. He had also fought with Wu Chengsi for most of his life for the position of crown prince. How could he not have this bit of scheming?
Wu Sansi immediately laughed as though this was an insignificant joke at the banquet. He teased Zhang Changzong, "Duke Ye, this customer of yours has spared no effort to gain your favor, hahaha."
Many of the officials attending the banquet quickly reacted and put away their shock. They laughed and laughed as though they did not take these words to heart. If everyone had been shocked for a while longer, maybe Zhang Changzong would have raised his guard. But when everyone laughed and laughed, he felt that it did not matter.
Zhang Changzong continued Li Hongtai's words and laughed, saying, "Daoist, you are exaggerating. If this duke is the Son of Heaven, then Daoist, aren't you my imperial preceptor, hahaha …"
Li Hongtai smiled faintly and didn't speak. Behind the crowd, Yang Fan also smiled faintly. He raised his cup, looked into the air, and drank.
