Chapter 209: Mrs. America

Everyone came to the court, and soon Xu Maogong walked in slowly, this outfit really made people fall eyeballs.
The outside is draped in linen and wears filial piety, which is still the kind of heavy filial piety, but the clothes on the inside are bright red, much like wedding clothes. Even Yuan Ziyan, who was tied up on the side, was very surprised to see it, no one would wear this dress in the future world.
Xu Mao didn't squint, he came straight to the stage, bowed his head, and shouted long live the mountain.
Li Yuan hurriedly asked him to get up with a smile, wanting to say something polite, but seeing Xu Maogong's dress was really awkward, he said puzzledly: "Why is Mao Gong like this?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, Duke Mao has summoned the old brothers this time, either escaped from Wang Shichong's place, or occupied the city, and now most of them have been recalled." Xu Maogong said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"I already know, Mao Gong, you have contributed a lot. Tell me, whatever you want, I will say yes! Li Yuan said happily.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xu Maogong gave a deep salute again, and said: "I am a busy person, and I have to meet Xing Guogong to make a difference, so that I will not live in a mess." Xing Guogong is a loyal and righteous man, and has been ancient, and I hope that His Majesty will agree, and order Xing Guogong to be buried in the southwest of Liyang Mountain. ”
Li Yuan couldn't help nodding, sighing, mentioning Li Mi, the corners of his eyes were still moistened: "I am commensurate with Xing Guogong's brothers, and I am not negative......"
"The prince of the country has not failed His Majesty." Xu Maogong said calmly, Li Yuan was stunned, although he was a little displeased, but he was nothing more than a dead man, praised Xu Maogong's righteousness, and then agreed. Or bury Li Mi with the gift of the national prince.
Now everyone understands that Xu Maogong's filial piety was worn for Li Mi, and he is not arrogant. Blame the old master for all the credit, and the admiration in my heart is even more layered.
This first requirement can be regarded as a successful pass, and presumably the second one is related to the red clothes inside. Xu Maogong saluted again and said, "Your Majesty, this second thing is to ask Your Majesty to agree to let his wife return home." ”
Everyone was very puzzled, and Li Yuan was also a little confused by the second monk. At that time, warlords were fighting, and family members were displaced, listening to Xu Maogong's tone. Could it be that his wife was seized by anyone? Li Yuan pretended to be angry and said, "Duke Mao, no matter where my wife is, I will uphold justice for you." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xu Maogong thanked him again. And then he said. The words that shocked everyone present: "In the next clumsy Jing, it is Yuan Ziyan!" ”
Yuan Ziyan's body froze, and at this time, he couldn't tell what Xu Maogong meant when he said this, but he was sure that he must be doing it for his own good.
Li Shimin was the first to react, and pointed at Xu Maogong in shame and said, "Xu Maogong, are you guilty?" ”
"I don't know what King Qin meant, what is the crime of Duke Mao?" Xu Mao's face did not change color.
"The sin of deceit!" Li Shimin said angrily: "Everyone knows it. Yuan Ziyan did not marry anyone, even in the former palace. was also transformed from a maid to a female official. Why is it your wife now, it's just ridiculous and generous! ”
"King Qin Rongyu, Yuan Ziyan and I are both ordinary people, so naturally there is no need to tell the world about marriage. And they met again on the march, Xing Guogong, who was the Duke of Wei at that time, was the witness to our marriage. ”
"Haha!" Li Shimin sneered a few times: "Why haven't you heard Xing Guogong talk about this matter?" If you arbitrarily designate a woman from a good family as your wife, the sin will be increased by one degree! ”
"I don't know if King Qin personally asked Xing Guogong about this?" Xu Maogong said lightly.
"This ......" Li Shimin blushed: "You have to distort the facts, Xing Guogong has passed away, and there is no proof!" And Xing Guogong, he ...... to Ziyan"
Li Shimin really couldn't say it anymore, and even regretted it a little, so many people liked Yuan Ziyan, why did he act so slowly?
"Shimin, stand down." Li Yuan frowned, and asked Xu Maogong again: "But there are other witnesses?" ”
"Your Majesty, the marriage is a matter of your love and my wishes for the man and woman, and I was in the army at the time, Xing Guogong only said that it was a marriage for the two of us after the war, but I didn't want to see him again when I was separated from him forever." Xu Maogong said again: "There is no need for witnesses in this matter, you can only ask Ziyan if it is my wife." ”
All eyes were on Yuan Ziyan, and Li Shimin emphasized: "Ziyan, don't be taken advantage of by Xu Maogong, I can also protect you!" ”
This was said very bluntly, Li Yuan's teeth were clenched, and the most stable son was also disturbed by love, and he even believed that Yuan Ziyan was a scourge.
Yuan Ziyan glanced at Li Shimin sadly, and his face was full of mockery and contempt: "King Qin is in love, Ziyan is ashamed." My eldest brother Li Mi did set a marriage for the two of us before he died, but before he had time to drink a glass of wine, he was killed by some ill-intentioned people. ”
Yuan Ziyan glared at Li Jiancheng dissatisfiedly after speaking, Li Yuan thought of something, and asked, "Xu Maogong, I don't know something, and I hope to answer one or two." ”
"Your Majesty, please speak."
"Yang Guang's youngest son, Yang Gao, do you recognize him?" Li Yuan asked suddenly.
Yuan Ziyan's heart tightened, and he hurriedly looked at Xu Maogong, but he hadn't looked at himself since he came in, and he still kowtowed unhurriedly, and said, "I recognize." ”
"Why did Li Mi take him with him?"
"Your Majesty Mingjian, it was not Xing Guogong who took him with him, but his clumsy wife took advantage of the Jiangdu rebellion to rescue Yang Gao. Recognize him as a junior brother and teach him personally. Later, Xing Guogong found out his identity and was detained, not hiding it from His Majesty, and had the intention of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots. However, in the battle with Yu Wenhua, under favorable circumstances, Xing Guogong was injured by an arrow in order to save Wang Bodang, who was in ambush, and his life was in danger. Yang Gao was careful and kind, took out the royal secret pill, and saved Xing Guogong's life. At this point, although Xing Guogong was not particularly cordial with Yang Gao, he retreated from killing him. As for carrying it with you, it is the opinion of a clumsy wife's wife. ”
Xu Maogong spoke eloquently, and what he said was similar to Yuan Ziyan's, and Li Yuan completely dispelled the doubts in his heart. Since Yuan Ziyan admits that she is the wife of Xu Maogong, no matter whether they are in love or not, Yuan Ziyan will go out of the palace with Xu Maogong to live, and he will not be allowed to enter the palace without being summoned, and presumably his son Li Shimin will also cut off contact with her.
"Hahaha, Duke Mao is affectionate and righteous, it is really my luck for Datang!" Li Yuan thought for a while and said, "I agreed to these two requests. From now on, Xu Maogong will still be the governor of Liyang, and he will be crowned with Shangzhu Guo and Laiguo Gong! In addition, he was given 50 tilts of fertile land, a high-class mansion, 100 taels of gold, 1,000 taels of silver, and 10 slaves. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Yuan Ziyan is smart and virtuous, a heroine, and a first-class American lady."
Hmph, Yuan Ziyan couldn't help but laugh when she heard this title, what is an American lady and a British lady, it's really funny. Li Shimin completely lost his spirit, and Yuan Ziyan was appointed to marry in court, indicating that they had no chance.
Because Xu Maogong was worried about burying Li Mi, he didn't stay in the palace for too long, so he quickly got up and said goodbye. Of course, with him, there were Yuan Ziyan, Yuzhu and Chu Ling'er.
"Brother Yueshan, if you are willing to stay in the palace and develop, I have no opinion." Yuan Ziyan said.
"Ziyan, I said a long time ago, my life is all given by you, and I will follow you wherever you go. Even if it's a sedan car and a car in the caretaker's home, it's okay! Ziyan, you can't dislike my big brother! Wang Yueshan said hurriedly.
"Why, since that's the case, let's go. You don't need to bring anything, Your Majesty has given Xu Maogong a lot of things. Yuan Ziyan made a joke, and Xu Maogong couldn't help laughing, as if he had seen Yuan Ziyan's shadow again.
Chu Ling'er looked a little in a trance, of course she was thinking about Li Chunfeng, Li Chunfeng went out of the palace to do errands and never came back. And Yuan Ziyan had also tested Li Chunfeng's mind before, this kid was just a little kid, and he didn't have any understanding of men and women.
After the group left the palace, they pulled Li Mi's coffin and walked east, but they were stopped on the way, needless to say, it was Li Shimin.
"Ziyan, King Qin must be here for you, you might as well have a few words with him." Xu Maogong hesitated.
"What, you're afraid of him?" Yuan Ziyan's eyebrows raised.
"Why, I'm afraid of you." Xu Maogong sighed slightly: "I'm afraid you have regrets." ”
"Now that my public identity is your daughter-in-law, how can there be any reason for my husband to push his daughter-in-law to other men. If you have anything to say, let him tell you. Yuan Ziyan said disdainfully.
"You know, I said that nothing more than a stopgap measure. When I learned that you were being detained, I couldn't stay at night, so I gathered my brothers to rush here, firstly, to have a better future, and on the other hand, to rescue you. Xu Maogong said without concealment.
"When a man gets married, a woman gets married, you and I are both legal husband and wife, do you still dislike me?" Yuan Ziyan pursed her lips in displeasure.
"How so!" Xu Maogong said excitedly: "Ziyan, I have admired you for a long time, but I don't know what you feel in your heart. ”
"I may have thought about it a lot before, but now that you are my man, I will try to be like a daughter-in-law." Yuan Ziyan glanced at Li Shimin from a distance, then affectionately took Xu Maogong's hand and said, "Go and send away the person who wants to take your daughter-in-law, I don't want to see him again." ”
Xu Maogong was pleasantly surprised, hugged Yuan Ziyan tightly, and then rode his horse to Li Shimin. No one knew what they said, the faces of both of them were ugly, Li Shimin could be described as angry, and Xu Maogong was not to be outdone, and finally Li Shimin rode back angrily, and Xu Maogong didn't say a word after he came back.
Li Mi's bones were finally buried five miles southwest of Liyang Mountain, and the tomb built was very high, seven feet high. Everyone will inevitably feel nostalgic, Yuan Ziyan came from sorrow, crying bitterly, many people couldn't persuade her, she cried enough, and finally fell asleep on Li Mi's grave.
When Yuan Ziyan woke up, he found himself lying on the bed, and Xu Maogong was sleeping on the ground. Maybe it was because he was afraid that Yuan Ziyan would wake up and be afraid, but there was still a small light on in the room, which was extremely warm. (To be continued......)
