The house of Mrs. Wei was brightly lit, so she wanted to hold a large banquet. In fact, this was a small banquet specially held by Helan Minyue for Li Hong. She had a nightmare and had a premonition. She felt that she had not had much time, so Helan Minyue's life became even more luxurious. If you don't bring money to life and die, you might as well spend it now.

When Li Hong came to the wife of Wei, he was shocked by the luxurious scene. He saw all kinds of flowers blooming in the garden, and the colorful lanterns shining the garden, which shocked Li Hong even more. The pavilions held today were all wrapped in silk, with precious blankets on the ground, and sandalwood burning in the incense burner on the table... The curling blue smoke filled the entire garden with a faint fragrance...

"Your Highness, are you here?" Helan Minyue walked up to him in a soft voice when she saw Li Hong.

Seeing that Li Hong seemed a little nervous, Helan Minyue ordered everyone in the garden to retreat. In this way, only she and Li Hong were left in the garden.

"Today, all this is for you, Goro. Do you like it?" Helan Minyue asked, then stepped forward and grabbed Li Hong's hand, with a gentle and charming look on his face.

"Why do you need this?" Li Hong asked. He found that Helan Minyue today was a little strange. He didn't want Helan Minyue he saw in the past. Helan Minyue seemed very lonely and weak tonight.

"It's nothing, I just want to be extravagant for you once." Helan Minyue said, holding Li Hong's hand and pulling him into the pavilion.

Li Hong looked at the dishes in the pavilion, all of which were his favorites when he was a child. When he grew up, because of his health, the imperial doctor had the final say in his daily consumption, so he hadn't eaten many dishes here for a long time.

"Do you still remember?" Li Hong asked quite movedly.

"Remember, why don't we remember that we often stole these things when we were young?" Helan Minyue said mischievously, as if time had returned to the scene when she and Li Hong were young.

"Wuror, do you like listening to the piano? Let me talk about a song for you?" Helan Minyue said. Seeing Li Hong nodding slightly, she walked to the side where she stopped, lifted the silk lid on it, revealing the piano stand and a precious guzheng.

Li Hong sat in the pavilion and poured himself a glass of wine.

Helan Minyue glanced at Li Hong, her eyes full of infinite love. When she stroked her hands on the strings, the guzheng made a crisp sound.

Helan Minyue has excellent piano skills. She is willing to be trained by the Korean lady when she was young, so she is favored by Gaozong because she is versatile in chess and calligraphy, dance music, and it is not an exaggeration to describe her as the word "talented woman"...

Zheng--

When the first note floated out, Li Hong knew what Helan Minyue was playing. This song was written by him when he was a child. When he heard Helan Minyue was practicing the piano, he wrote this not-so-introductory song. However, he was also writing it at that time. Unexpectedly, Helan Minyue always remembered it and practiced it well.

This song was not desolate at first, it was a very cheerful song.

But today, the effect was different when played from Helan Minyue's hand. In addition to the faint sorrow, there was also a hint of low lovesickness.

Li Hong has a lot of alcohol, and he is drinking very slowly tonight, but after listening to this song, he is a little drunk... In the hazy he seemed to see Helan Minyue coming towards him. She is so young, so energetic, so innocent and straightforward...

Goro - Goro -

Li Hong seemed to have heard the long-lost shouts, which made him young and unrestrained.

Suddenly, the song changed, and Li Hong's thoughts returned to his eyes. He found that he was not drunk. He only drank two glasses of wine, but his eyes were a little wet. When he looked at Helan Minyue, his eyes were already filled with tears...

Why is this happening? Do you still have feelings for her? Li Hong is a little confused. He has forgotten her!

Why is it so uncomfortable? Is this memory still there and still hidden in my heart? Otherwise, why is it so sad? Li Hong asked himself in his heart.

"Yue'er, don't play it anymore." Li Hong suddenly said, Yue'er was the nickname he had for Helan Minyue when he was a child.

Helan Minyue was shocked when she heard Li Hong call her, and she couldn't help but tears, and suddenly burst into her eyes...

"Goro, have you finally admitted our past relationship?" Helan Minyue said excitedly. She strode inside, kneeling in front of Li Hong, staring at Li Hong with her eyes tightly staring at Li Hong.

Li Hong nodded slightly. He didn't need to lie to himself, nor did he need to lie to Helan Minyue.

"But it's too late!" Li Hong said. No matter what happened before, there would be nothing again afterwards. This is an indisputable fact, and it is also the emotion that Li Hong and Helan Minyue must restrain themselves.

Helan Minyue's expression froze suddenly, and after a while she replied, "Yes, it's too late between us--"

At this moment, she seemed to be in a state of dismay, like a soulless walking corpse. Li Hong did not comfort her, because he knew that comforting her now was useless, it depends on whether she could see it openly.

Li Hong was silent while drinking. He found that since he walked into this garden tonight, his thoughts had been in memories. The little things between him and Helan Minyue, as well as memories from childhood, these memories suddenly poured into his mind, causing him to fall into a stinking Cinderella. Since he returned to the Tang Dynasty, he could escape Li Hong's memories when he was young, and he was unwilling to think about it anymore or touch it again. He thought he had forgotten these memories, but today he realized that all this was there, just because he closed his past feelings and closed them in his heart. Today, Helan Minyue evoked their memories, and also evoked the memories when he was young.

"Goro, you are right. We can never go back. Today I am too persistent." After a long time, Helan Minyue walked up to Li Hong and said with a charming smile.

"Yue'er, no matter what, you must survive well." Li Hong said. He thought of the Fengshan Mountains in Taishan in October this year, and the Martial Arts Empress would poison the young and beautiful woman in front of him. He felt so uncomfortable.

Helan Minyue's face changed for a moment, and she returned to her former smile, "It's okay, Yue'er is already very happy to have a drink with Goro tonight. Yue'er is very satisfied now, really satisfied."

After Helan Minyue finished speaking, she poured a glass of wine for Li Hong, then returned to her seat and poured a glass of wine for herself, raising her glass and saying to Li Hong, "Wulang, Yue'er toast you."

"Please—" Li Hong raised his glass and said, drinking it all in one go.

The two chatted and drank, and before they knew it, the moon was already in the middle of the sky.

"Tonight's banquet is a bit extravagant." Li Hong sighed. How much money does it take to decorate such a brilliant scene.

"Is this a luxury?" Helan Minyue said in surprise. Li Honggui is the prince. He has never enjoyed anything luxurious. How could he be extravagant about the decoration in front of him?

"Is it a lot of money?" Li Hong asked.

"Uh--10,000 guan of copper coins." Helan Minyue replied in a daze.

"So much?" Li Hong said in surprise.

Helan Minyue was even more surprised than him. He said 10,000 guan of copper coins. Is this still the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty? Why do you think it is more like a beggar? If you say that Li Hong has no money, Helan Minyue doesn't believe it. Last time she fought against dogs, she knew that Li Hong won millions of copper coins from foreign nobles.

"Are you too much?" Helan Minzuki asked, "Is Goro very short of money?"

Li Hong nodded slightly. He is short of money now, and even more lacks gold.

Because he found that in order to deal with Empress Wu, in addition to using means in political and political struggles, he also had to find ways in other aspects. This aspect is economy. Only by mastering the economic lifeline of the Tang Dynasty and his identity as the crown prince can he fight with Empress Wu. Besides, Li Xian has been in a bad mind and has been peeping at his position as the crown prince for a long time. Those who support Li Xian are also gentry clans such as the Lu family of Fanyang and Cui family of Qinghe. They control the salt and iron business and are very strong. In the future, if they want to fight with Li Xian, they cannot lose money. Therefore, Li Hong was eager to establish his own bank, issue his own currency, and control the finance of the Tang Dynasty as soon as possible...

"How much money does Goro need depends on whether I can help you." Helan Minyue asked. Gaozong rewarded her a lot of things, and when her mother was alive, Gaozong also rewarded her a lot of things, all of which were in her mansion, so she was not short of money. Besides, she still had industries in Chang'an City, and her annual investment was quite large, which was enough for her expenses.

"It's not just a shortage of money, but also a shortage of gold." Li Hong sighed.

"Gold?" Helan Minyue said in surprise, "What do you want so much gold?"

"Open a bank and issue currency." Li Hong said simply, and did not explain anything to Helan Minyue, but Helan Minyue still saw the huge business opportunities in Li Hong's expression.

"Wulang, if you really need it, Yue'er has 80,000 taels of gold to lend you first." Helan Minyue said without hesitation. The 80,000 taels of gold was still the wealth that her mother had specially plundered when she was alive.

"Eighty thousand taels of gold?" Li Hong said in surprise. Helan Minyue had so much gold, which was a lot of money. He now had 40,000 taels of gold to buy a dog, and the gold he had collected himself, and there were a total of 60,000 taels of gold reserves. If Helan Minyue's 80,000 taels of gold as a reserve, it would be enough to open a small bank in Chang'an City.

You can open a small bank first, wait until the gold reserves are sufficient, and then expand your operations and issue currency. Isn’t this better?

Li Hong was very happy and suddenly found that the shadows shrouded on his head had dispersed...

"Thank you Yue'er, don't worry, your gold will not be borrowed in vain. When the bank is established, I will give you 13% shares." Li Hong promised. Don't look at the small amount of shares of 3%, but once the bank grows and issues currency, and becomes the central bank of Datang, these 13% shares will be priceless.

"As long as Goro needs it, what can Yue'er not give you, and why do you want to borrow it for free?" Helan Minyue said charmingly, poured a glass of wine, got up and walked to Li Hong, poured a glass of wine for Li Hong and said, "If Goro is willing, just have a drink with Yue'er!"

Li Hong raised his glass and drank a drink with Helan Minyue.

After drinking this glass of wine, he found that his eyes were a little dizzy, and then he fell onto the blanket with a clang.

Seeing that Li Hong was drunk, Helan Minyue fell on the blanket and was unconscious, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Then she leaned over and tapped Li Hong's lips slightly.

However... she got up and walked to the pillar of the pavilion, untied a rope, and saw the silk wrapped around the pavilion dispersed suddenly, covering the pavilion tightly... The candlelight swayed in the pavilion, and the sandalwood swayed. Only the rolling figures in the pavilion and the panting sounds outside the pavilion... (To be continued)
