"When mother was alive, she was sister-in-law with your mother. Before she passed away, my mother told me about the Yang family. He told me to pay attention to the children of the Yang family.
I didn't expect that fate would allow me to meet Third Sister and Big Brother.”
"That's right! Thank the heavens!" Yang Yuhuan said happily.
She never thought that the person she admired would know her background so well.
"The fragrance of spring enters the garden, but the kindness and severity are far away. Who will protect the residual red? Ask the setting sun about the wine.”Li Yao was also lamenting about Yang Yuhuan's past, and she casually recited a song, Mourning Spring, for her father.
He turned his head and was shocked to see Yang Yuhuan, who was crying her eyes out.
He did not expect that a casual poem would have such a lethal effect on this beauty who was pregnant with her father.
"Uh…look at me! Today was clearly a joyous day, but seeing an old friend recite such a sad poem. I'll punish myself with three cups, three cups!" After saying that, Li Yao downed three glasses of wine to apologize.
" Sigh... I didn't expect Third Brother's background to be..." Guo Ziyi sighed.
"Hey! Big brother! What's wrong with you? How could he still be called Third Brother? Hurry up and drink! You should also drink three cups as punishment!" Li Yao finally livened up the atmosphere again.
"Yes, yes, yes! Big brother should be punished! Big Brother will drink it now!" Guo Ziyi smiled embarrassedly.
"Big brother, you have to punish me with a few more cups!”Yang Yuhuan finally broke into a smile and poured wine for Guo Ziyi.
After Guo Ziyi downed a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere at Li Yao's table was pushed to a climax.
Just as everyone was toasting, King Shou Li Mao walked over with a wine cup.
He had long heard that Yang Xuan's niece, Yang Yuhuan, was a beauty that could topple a country. After seeing her beauty, King Shou's soul followed Yang Yuhuan here.
However, when he saw Yang Yuhuan and Li Yao joking around, he felt inexplicably angry.
"Fifth brother, why is Li Mao here?”Li Ju looked at Li Mao walking over and whispered to Li Yao in surprise.
Li Yao also noticed Li Mao's expression, and the smile on her face became unfathomable.
Although Li Ju had asked Li Mao to come to the rescue of the emperor, Li Mao, Li Ju, and Li Yao weren't irreconcilable enemies, but they had a deep hatred for each other.
The reason for all of this was actually Li Mao's mother, Consort Wu Hui.
Li Yao and Li Ju's mothers were both favored concubines of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty.
In the end, after Consort Wu Hui ascended the throne, she took away all the love that Emperor Xuanzong had for these two favorite concubines.
The two princes, who were originally favored, also lost their original status.
However, after Li Mao was born, it could be said that the son was noble because of his mother. Li Mao also received most of the favor of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty.
Li Mao's status among all the princes was only second to the Crown Prince, and his momentum was even close to the current Crown Prince, Li Ying.
Perhaps it was because he didn't feel safe, or perhaps it was for the sake of his son, Li Mao.
After Li Yao and Li Ju's mother passed away, Consort Wu Hui had always wanted to get rid of the two brothers who were close to the Crown Prince.
However, after experiencing a series of events since the spring of the twenty-fifth year of Kaiyuan, especially after Consort Wu Hui's two failures, she no longer had any other thoughts about Li Yao.
However, unexpectedly, King Shou Li Mao had many thoughts in his mind.
"Fifth brother, seventh brother, may I know who this lady is?”he asked, pretending not to know.
"This lady is Imperial Censor Yang Xuan's niece, Yang Yuhuan. She's also your fifth brother's sworn third sister.”Li Yao said with a fake smile.
He understood Li Mao's purpose for coming here, and he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
"So it's the young miss of the Yang family. I'm Li Mao.”Li Mao smiled and bowed to Yang Yuhuan.
"Greetings, Your Highness King Shou." Yang Yuhuan hurriedly bowed.
"Young Lady Yang need not be so polite. Benwang was only stunned by Young Lady Yang's beauty, so I came over to offer Young Lady a cup of wine.”After saying that, Li Mao raised his hand and saluted.
This was actually a very obvious signal to everyone.
A king's toast was not to the emperor's imperial consort, nor was it to a noble or minister, but to an unknown little girl.
One could imagine his intentions.
Yang Yuhuan was also at a loss by King Shou's sudden action. She turned to look at Li Yao, hoping to get help from him.
Li Yao also saw Yang Yuhuan's pleading eyes. He smiled and said,""Yuhuan, King Shou specially toasted you with a cup of wine. You can't not give him face.”
After saying that, he personally poured a cup of wine for Yang Yuhuan and nodded at her.
Seeing this, Yang Yuhuan was relieved. She also stood up with a smile and drank with King Shou Li Mao. Then, she began to joke with Li Yao again.
King Shou Li Mao saw that Yang Yuhuan had no intention of responding to him. He could not help but feel a little angry and jealous.
He smiled awkwardly and said,"Fifth Brother, Seventh Brother." My sister's gift to Princess Tai Hua is complete, and our royal polo match is about to begin. Are you two brothers willing to compete with me?”
"Li Mao, what do you mean? You know that Fifth Brother is not good at riding horses! Not to mention the bow!" Li Ju couldn't help but laugh as he asked loudly.
They were not on the same path as Li Mao, but Li Mao's performance today was at odds with them.
"Oh! I almost forgot! Fifth Brother was once thrown off a horse! I'm really sorry, Fifth Brother!" Li Mao deliberately exaggerated.
"You!" Li Ju angrily glared at Li Mao. To the horse track! I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of Fifth Brother!”
"Wait!" Li Yao raised her hand to stop Li Ju. He calmly said,""I agree."
