Liu Zhuang looked back and looked at Tan Lu, his eyes flashing with interest.

Tan Lu was furious, and his heart suddenly rose to his throat.

Liu Zhuang turned his head and continued: "As an imperial businessman, Lord Tan has no merit and hard work. , this time he is also concerned about the majesty of the heavenly family, listened to the slander, and asked his father to take it lightly! ”

When the emperor heard this, he was even more satisfied with the prince's generosity, and looked at the queen again.

When the queen heard the prince say this, she felt a loss in her heart, and it was not easy to ask the emperor for a heavy punishment: "Please also ask the emperor to take into account the overall situation and be lenient." ”

Seeing that the empress had no objections, the emperor's heart was a little relieved - he did not believe in the wrong person.

"Since the queen and the crown prince are interceding for you, you will be punished lightly, fined for three years, and think about it for a month behind closed doors!"

"Emperor Xie Empress, His Royal Highness Prince Xie!"

Tan Lu is grateful, and he doesn't know what medicine is sold in the prince's gourd, but the prince really doesn't know about him and the Western Regions......

"Your Majesty, the marriage between Zhuang'er and the Tan family?" The queen suddenly mentioned the prince's marriage, intending to get rid of the shackles of the Tan family. This time Tan Lu's accusation failed, and if he wanted to threaten himself again, it was not so simple.

"This marriage is originally your decision, and I will not participate."

The emperor expressed his position, and he also knew that the Tan family had offended the queen this time. Although the queen is generous, she can still calmly marry her children after the Tan family frames herself like this.

So, just as Tan Biyue was happily preparing for the marriage, a jar of cold water fell from the sky and smashed her head. The queen personally issued a decree to re-elect a concubine for the crown prince. Tan Biyue fainted on the spot, this is a later story, let's not mention it for the time being.

Heavy rain fell for three days until the fourth day, when the weather was slightly cool, and the heavy rain began to stop.

In the early morning, with the eunuch's voice: His Majesty the Emperor has arrived, everyone has knelt down.

"All the ministers are flat!"

The Emperor's voice was full of anger.

Everyone got up and sat down on their knees.

But right here, dozens of officials were still kneeling, and they said in unison: "The ministers have something to say!" ”

"Quasi-play!"

"The ministers participated in the imperial businessman Tan family, used power for personal gain, and colluded with foreign ......" The official led by the official told the story, revealing the Tan family's background in detail.

In a sigh, everyone seconded the proposal. In the past, he took revenge with the Tan family, stepped on a few feet, and although he was a good friend, he wondered if Taifu and Shangshutai didn't speak, so naturally they didn't dare to speak, so they went first.

So, at the court meeting that day, His Majesty the Emperor was furious and sent someone to raid the Tan family on the spot. The Tan family fell overnight, and there were not many officials involved, but they copied and detected the financial silk equivalent to a year's income of the national treasury.

In the early morning, the warm sun rises, dispersing the dark clouds of the night, and the wind and rain all night wash away the dirt of the world, leaving fresh air and blue sky.

Li Shu pushed open the window and grinned: "The weather is so good, Sanqi, how about we go out for a walk?" ”

"But, sister, where are we going?" Sanqi took a snack in his hand, and from time to time pinched a piece and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Go to the Prince's Mansion as a guest! After breakfast, you should eat less, beware that you will not be able to walk later! Li Shu told Sanqi, breaking his heart.

So, the old white horse Bai Yi dragged the heavy carriage, swayed leisurely, and drove the two to the prince's mansion.

The Prince's Mansion is still as solemn as ever, with two stone lions towering on both sides.

Just knocked on the door, and a little guy came out, in the voice of a young man, and scolded: "What doesn't have long eyes, don't look at where it is!" ”

Sanqi waited for him to finish scolding before he said, "New here? ”

The little guy was stunned for a moment and nodded.

"Why don't you go to tell your father-in-law Tao, just say that Miss Li is here, she wants to enter through the main gate, and ask him to come out to greet him!"

Sanqi spoke very quickly, and after speaking, he didn't forget to give the little guy a big date.

When the little guy heard this, he asked the manager of Tao to come to greet him, and he knew that it was not small, so he hurriedly closed the door and ran to pass the ceremony.

"Sister, why do we have to enter the main door? If you want me to say, let's show off our light work, we don't need half a pillar of incense, just go in! ”

When Li Shu heard the word light work, his expression froze for a moment, so fast that it was unpredictable, not to mention that Sanqi was talking to himself.

"It's bright and bright, isn't it?"

Sanqi nodded.

Li Shu touched Sanqi's head with a smile, looked at Bai Yi again, crossed his cheeks with loneliness, and said, "Sanqi, you have grown up, and Bai Yi will be taken care of by you in the future!" ”

"Okay, okay, Bai Yi, Bai Yi, you must listen to me in the future, I will take good care of you!" Sanqi touched Bai Yi's snow-like mane, smiling like a flower.

Not long after, the vermilion gate of the prince's mansion opened, and Tao Run really came to greet him in person: "Miss Li, the prince is invited!" ”

Li Shu nodded, and Sanqi went in together.

Sanqi is like a wild horse that has escaped the leash, bouncing all the way.

Stepping into the inner courtyard, Li Shu looked at the swing in front of the court and said with a smile: "Gonggong Tao, in the past few years, there has been no change in the Prince's Mansion!" ”

"It's not, but whatever the girl has used, the master has kept it intact."

Tao Run took a few steps forward and said good things for his grandfather.

Li Shu just nodded lightly, in fact, she hoped that he could forget her.

After walking for about a pillar of incense, a bamboo courtyard came into view. This is where he recuperated five years ago. It was here, she remembered, that they were heart-to-heart; It is also here that their contradictions escalate.

"All these years, I have been living here. Miss Li, go, I'm waiting for you! Tao Run stopped, also grabbed Sanqi, and motioned for her to leave with him.

The corners of Li Shu's eyes are slightly wet, it has been five years, and it is still as usual here, and even the bamboo outside the courtyard is still as tall as five years ago.

Li Shu's hand touched everything in the courtyard and slowly entered the house. I saw Liu Zhuang sitting at the table casually, playing with a wine glass in his hand, seeing her coming, his smile was never brighter, it seemed that only for a moment, he could turn all beings upside down.

"You're here." He said that his voice was not as mellow as usual.

Li Shu realized that he seemed to be drunk. I flipped the flask in front of me, it was empty, and I really drank a lot of wine.

"What, don't you get drunk, are you afraid you won't be able to face me?"

Li Shu directly broke it, poured himself a glass of wine, and was about to drink it all in one go, when the hand that suddenly appeared snatched the wine glass away.

"If you can't drink, don't drink it."

He raised his head, drank all the wine in the cup, and said, "Mu Qing, you are so cruel, you refuse to leave me with such a little face." ”

"Yes, you're right, I don't dare to face you, it's me who is sorry for you." Liu Zhuang lowered his head and happened to see the silver bracelet on Li Shu's hand.

"I said I would protect you, but I never did, and I almost hurt you."

poured another glass of wine, and was about to send it to his mouth, but was stopped by Li Shu: "Liu Zhuang, you are not wrong." It's always me who is at fault, and it's me who shouldn't be extravagant. ”

After all, this is in ancient times, three wives and four concubines are normal, not to mention that as an emperor, it is necessary for the harem to balance the previous dynasty, and she should not ask him not to want the country for her.

"No, no, it's not a luxury!" Liu Zhuang's eyes suddenly lit up, grabbed her hand, and he said very seriously: "Mu Qing, I'll marry you, I'll only marry you!" ”

His tone was more eager than ever, and she said he would only marry her.

"But ......," Li Shu hesitated.

"Mu Qing, you forgot, you are the righteous daughter of General Ma Tai, and it is not bad for such a family to become the crown princess!"
