Xuanzang was full of praise for Yuan Ziyan's understanding, and Yuan Ziyan modestly said that he was just a doctrine, and the real credit was still the master's, which no one could deny.

After the meal, it was already dark, and Xuanzang said that there was still a lot of work to be done, so he refused the request to stay in the palace and insisted on returning to the temple.

"Your Majesty, the carriage is ready at the palace gate." Wu Mei came in and said.

Although he lowered his head, Xuanzang just glanced at it, and was suddenly taken aback, the woman in front of him had phoenix eyes and willow eyebrows, sideburns like green clouds, graceful posture, and a natural graceful posture.

Wu Mei was a little embarrassed by Xuanzang's look, her head lowered even more, and Xuanzang kept looking at her talents, Li Shimin knew the mage's character, of course, he didn't think about the obscene place, and said with a smile: "Mage, this is my martial artist, and women don't let the eyebrows be able." ”

Yuan Ziyan's heart suddenly rose to her throat, Wu Mei was good-looking, and some people with foundations could see it, so she hurriedly stepped forward and said: "That is, Your Majesty is partial to her, in fact, she has always followed me, clumsy, and regarded as a girl." ”

Yuan Ziyan glanced at Xuanzang meaningfully, Xuanzang naturally won't get too involved in the world's mundane affairs, Amitabha! He clasped his hands together at Wu Mei, and then said goodbye to Li Shimin and left in a hurry.

Xuanzang's abnormal performance still attracted Li Shimin's attention, and he also saw that Yuan Ziyan deliberately belittled Wu Mei, definitely not to suppress her, but more like a kind of protection.

Li Shimin looked at Wu Mei carefully, so busy that he rarely paid so much attention to her in recent years. The childishness on his face has disappeared, and the beauty is naturally needless to say, he has been serving in front of the emperor for the past few years. Sophisticated and steady, but it is difficult for peers to achieve.

And Li Shimin also mentioned to himself that Wu Mei and the crown prince Li Zhi walked very closely, and he always thought that the two had just grown up together since childhood, and they were like brothers and sisters. Thinking of this, Li Shimin's brows furrowed slightly, thinking of the past, and feeling that Yuan Ziyan had something to hide from him.

Yuan Ziyan sent Xuanzang away. On the way back, I thought about how to reply to Li Shimin, and when I entered the house, I found that he was sitting there with his brows furrowed into a big pimple, a little unhappy.

didn't wait for Yuan Ziyan to speak. Li Shimin sneered: "Shicai has secretly explained to the mage again, right?" ”

Oh? Yuan Ziyan pretended to be surprised and praised: "I don't know that our majesty now has the ability to be an unpredictable prophet, and there are indeed some things mentioned to the mage." ”

"Ziyan, how long are you going to hide it?" Li Shimin asked unhappily.

"Actually, I just didn't have time to tell you. The previous situation. It's not that you don't know. Yuan Ziyan sat down beside Li Shimin with a smile, Li Shimin knew that she was very coquettish, pulled out her arm, frowned and said: "Recently, I have felt that the dragon body is safe, and there are several idle concubines in the Houting court, and Jieyu and so on, I want to pamper Wu Mei, and then give her a proper name." ”

"Well, I'm actually looking forward to this day. Ay. It's just me that I was too careful. I can't think about it, and I've been stuck in the middle of you. Unexpectedly, Yuan Ziyan immediately agreed, and he was quite active: "I have also observed over the years, this child has a stable temperament, has been a talented person for almost ten years, and has been ridiculed a lot, but serving me is the same as at the beginning, which is also impressive." ”

"Ziyan, did you really figure it out?" Li Shimin asked sourly.

"What's the puzzle to think of, these women are all yours." Yuan Ziyan said: "Tonight is a good day, and I still have to go to see a doctor, I don't need Paula to accompany me, so I will notify her to bathe and change her clothes as soon as possible, and wait until I am lucky." ”

"Who are you going to see?" Li Shimin asked curiously.

"The master of Hualu Palace. Hey, I heard that I'm very sick, and I've been talking nonsense these days. Just now I discussed with Master Xuanzang to see if I could let Xuanyin enter the palace, but I didn't explain the reason. Yuan Ziyan said.

"Let Yang Gao meet her mother and son?" Li Shimin was surprised, it turned out that the two of them were thinking about two problems just now, Yuan Ziyan didn't worry about Wu Mei at all, but he was a villain. complained: "What is the use of you discussing with Xuanzang about such a big matter, you should discuss it with me." ”

"Hehe, I just thought, it's best to hide it from you. Quietly, but the two of them have a heart disease, but it's a pity that you, if you watch the fire, you know everything. Yuan Ziyan sighed secretly that it was dangerous, and pretended to poke Li Shimin's chest with his finger relaxed.

Li Shimin took the opportunity to hold his little hand and sighed slightly, in fact, he just said that he wanted to pamper Wu Mei, but in fact, he was testing Yuan Ziyan, his body knew by himself, and he had no interest in men and women for a long time. For the women in the palace, Li Shimin doesn't have too much guilt, this is their fate, whether they are favored or not, the final outcome is almost the same.

"Shimin, Xiao Meiniang is also almost eighty years old, although she is still a little obsessed, but she has come to this point, and I don't want people in another world to hate me. The knots that should be untied should be untied as soon as possible. Yuan Ziyan said in a low voice, which was also what she said in her heart.

"I'm sorry for you, Purple Smoke. But it's dark at night, and you're tired, so it's better to go back and rest first, and wait until tomorrow to see her again. ”

"Well, are you going with you?"

"I'm not going to go."

"What about Pauline?"

"More on that later."

"Oh." Yuan Ziyan answered, and after a few more idle words, he walked out, and when the cold wind blew outside, he found that his clothes were soaked, which was really dangerous.

This is the meager capital that Yuan Ziyan fought for Wu Mei, only in this way can she enter the palace smoothly in the future, otherwise it will be even more difficult to be a talented person of the first emperor.

After going back, Wu Mei was also very uneasy, anxiously waiting for Yuan Ziyan to come back, until Yuan Ziyan told her that she was fine, and then she went to sleep with confidence.

Since Li Shimin's consent was obtained, Yuan Ziyan generously sent someone to the Great Ci'en Temple the next day to invite Master Xuanyin into the palace. In fact, Yuan Ziyan's worries were right, Xuanyin admitted that he had withdrawn from Hongchen, regarded the first half of his life as his previous life, and had long ceased to be obsessed.

Therefore, when the senior brother talked to him about this matter, Xuanyin didn't take it to heart, what should he do, he didn't mean to enter the palace, knowing that the people sent by the national teacher had arrived, Xuanyin realized that maybe something big was going to happen, so he bathed and changed his clothes and went into the palace.

After entering the palace, Yuan Ziyan personally met with Xuanyin, and Xuanyin asked puzzledly: "Auntie, why did you let me come again and again?" ”

"Xuanyin, since you are still willing to call me an aunt, it means that our fate has not been interrupted. To tell you the truth, your former mother, Xiao Shi, is terminally ill, and the imperial doctor said that she will not live for seven days, so I want your mother and son to meet again one last time. Yuan Ziyan said truthfully.

Xuanyin was unmoved, recited a Buddha name, and said: "Thanks to the protection of Your Majesty, the queen mother can still be pampered in her former residence in the year of her sixtieth birthday." Now it is an old age, and Fu Lu has two harvests, and there are no regrets. ”

"Your mother has not been happy for many years after entering the palace, she has always thought that I have harmed your father and the Great Sui, and she does not believe in the fact that you are still alive, so she always tries to restore the Great Sui. Your Majesty has never really punished him, and in recent years, he has been chanting sutras and reciting Buddha, but he has also lived in peace. Yuan Ziyan said simply.

"It's just that if you meet and are seen by outsiders, won't you cause trouble for your aunt?" Xuanyin asked worriedly.

"Naturally, I would arrange it in secret, trying not to let people find out. Even if it is seen, it doesn't matter, because His Majesty also knows about it, and the big deal is to say that it is to chant and pray for Xiao Zhaorong. Yuan Ziyan said.

Xuanyin was silent, and now he is also very entangled with this adoptive mother, not that the older he is, the more ignorant he is, and he doesn't understand returns, but he understands the cycle of cause and effect, without exception.

In order to fight for the complete custody of her son, the adoptive mother designed to poison the biological mother, causing Yang Gao to be caught between the two kindnesses of birth and rear, and then the coup d'état in the palace, displacement, and the tragic experience of street performers, and then the frightened under the protection of Yuan Ziyan and the survival under the noses of the enemy.

Yang Gao was tired of this kind of life, to be precise, he was afraid of this kind of life in his heart, and after meeting Xuanzang by chance, Yang Gao, who had seen through the world, decided to become a monk. It's just that I never expected that fate would gather and disperse, and in the end, I still have to pass the emotional level.

After thinking about it for a long time, Xuanyin finally nodded and agreed, it's time to go, and it's a debt in my heart. Yang Gao alone was not enough, Yuan Ziyan sent someone to call Yang Shufei, Yang Shufei learned that she was going to visit Xiao Zhaorong, and a hundred were reluctant, but the national teacher explained that it was not easy to disobey, and she walked out of the palace gate with a hard head.

Several people met in front of Hualu Palace, sisters and brothers saw each other, it was inevitable to be excited, Yang Shufei couldn't help crying, Yuan Ziyan said in a low voice: "There are eyeliner everywhere, everyone should go into the house and talk about it if you have something to say." ”

Xuanyin nodded, folded her hands and saluted her sister, and Concubine Yang returned the salute and entered the Hualu Hall together. There was a bleak scene inside, although it was the time of spring recovery, because the previous lawn had not been taken care of for many years, it was sparse and sparse, but it looked mottled, and a pavilion had collapsed, and no one came to repair it.

"In the end, it is Your Majesty's Zhaorong, why is the living environment so embarrassing?" Yang Shufei scolded the steward eunuch inside unhappily.

The eunuch was so frightened that he knelt down with a puff, and said in a trembling voice: "Hui Concubine Niangniang's words were originally intended to be announced, but Zhaorong Niangniang said that she was used to seeing beautiful scenery, but it was such a scene that made her feel steady." But don't worry, Zhaorong's three meals a day, we all came according to the standard, and never let Zhaorong Niangniang suffer the slightest grievance. ”

"Let's go down!" Yang Shufei frowned and scolded, but when she came to the door of the house, she hesitated a little, and hurriedly pushed the door open, but her footsteps couldn't help but go back, which showed that she was struggling in her heart.

At this moment, a palace maid greeted her and said in surprise: "Niangniang, the lady concubine has really come to see you, your feeling is so accurate!" (To be continued......)
