Seeing off Li Mo, who got his wish, Li Zhi's mood can be said to be very good, seeing that he can find the woman he likes to tie the knot, he, as a brother, is also happy for him. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
When the endless but silent attendants finished cleaning up the scraps on the table and exited the living hall, Li Zhifang took a handkerchief from Xiao Chengzi and gently wiped the corners of his mouth.
Leisurely walked to the bookcase and sat down, and the selection list placed at the top immediately attracted Li Zhi's attention. Squinting at Xiao Chengzi who looked like nothing was happening on the side, Li Zhi scolded with a smile: "Dead minion! Actually play with me this heart's eye! ”
Xiao Chengzi peeked at the expression on Li Zhi's face, and saw Li Zhi's face smiling, so he let go of half of his heart, and said with a smile: "This was just sent from outside the door, because the emperor was having a meal, the little one didn't dare to disturb." ”
He also swallowed a word and didn't dare to say it, not daring to disturb is one thing, the key is that he is afraid that Li Zhi will be so angry that he can't eat after reading this selection list!
Li Zhi casually unveiled the selection list of Huang Aya's cover, and couldn't help but be stunned when he looked at it, and then sneered: "Hmph! The Lu Four! The Zheng trio! Cui's five! What a capability! Is my harem controlled by these people? ”
"Smack!" With a bang, the list that was originally in his hand fell heavily on the bookcase in front of Li Zhi, and on the list that was spread out, the women surnamed Lu, surnamed Zheng, and Cui mentioned by Li Zhi just now, as well as the other two women, occupied the top position of the list, and the rest of the surnames could only be ranked behind, no wonder Li Zhi was so angry.
Xiao Chengzi cautiously stepped forward to close the list, and was about to say something, when he swept the corner of his eyes and suddenly found that there was a small chamberlain outside the hall probing his brain, and he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed: The emperor is in a bad mood, and these people don't know how to look at the limelight!
Walking out of the palace gate in a few steps, Xiao Chengzi saw the sneaky little chamberlain at a glance, so he shouted softly: "Who is snooping here?" Didn't you learn the rules when you entered the palace? ”
The little chamberlain was startled, but he didn't dare to run anymore, so he had to cower and lean in front of Xiao Chengzi and whispered, "Chenggong!" It was the queen's father-in-law Nie who asked the little one to come over and say that the queen's mother lost her temper after seeing the father-in-law of Anfumen today. ”
"That's it! Got it! Xiao Chengzi frowned slightly, took out a few silver horns from his sleeve and handed them over, and sent the little chamberlain.
Li Zhi watched Xiao Chengzi walk in the door again, and the expression on his face had already returned to calm.
It was already expected that the five surnames would compete for control of the harem, and now when he saw the names on the list, he just didn't expect these people to be so blatant.
But it's okay, in this way, the rift between the five surnames will get bigger and bigger, and when this rift is too big to be repaired, it will be his chance!
"What's going on?" Li Zhi asked out loud. Although he was unhappy, he did not ignore the little chamberlain.
Xiao Chengzi was a little hesitant, the queen mother would lose her temper, presumably something happened, but it was his idea to demote Xiao Fuzi at the beginning, and I don't know if this matter will implicate him?
"Just now, Gong Nie sent the news that the queen mother lost her temper in the Zhaoyang Palace, and I don't know why?" Xiao Chengzi hesitated slightly, but decided to tell the truth.
"Oh?" Li Zhi raised her eyebrows, coming back from Jiuji, she had stopped for a while, why did she suddenly lose her temper?
"It is said that it was a sudden tantrum after meeting the father-in-law of Xiaofuzi, who guarded the Anfu Gate." Xiao Chengzi said as he peeked at Li Zhi's expression.
"Little Fuzi?" Li Zhi frowned and thought for a long time, then he remembered the little eunuch with thin skin and white face in front of the queen.
"Wang Qi!" Li Zhi called out casually, and in a blink of an eye, there was one more person in the living hall.
"Your Majesty! What is the command? Wang Qi knelt on one knee and bowed his head in reply.
"Go find out what happened to Anfumen today." Li Zhi waved his hand.
It will cause the queen, who has always been pretentious and dignified, to be angry, which must not be a trivial matter.
"Today, Miss Wu entered the palace from Anfumen." The king did not lift up his head, nor moved.
Since the emperor was interested in Wu Meiniang, he has been staring at this matter for a long time, and he doesn't need to inquire at all.
The two masters and servants of Li Zhi in the living hall couldn't help but be stunned at the same time when they heard Wang Qi's words, and they never thought that it was because of this incident!
"Shouldn't the selected woman enter the palace through the Yanxi Gate?" Xiao Chengzi asked suspiciously.
"Luoyang's entry into Chang'an City was originally in the direction of Anfumen, presumably the guards were not very clear, so they directly delivered it in Anfumen." Wang Qi thought for a moment and replied.
Although most of the women who have always been selected enter the palace from Yanxi Gate, this is not a hard and fast rule, so it is not too illegal for Luoyang's guards to hand over in Anfumen, and those eunuchs guarding the door will naturally take these women to where they should go, but I didn't expect that this time there would be this mistake.
"Forget it! She'll find out about it sooner or later, and she doesn't care about it for a while. At this point, Li Zhi didn't say anything anymore, waved his hand and ordered Wang Qi to retreat, and continued to look at the recital on the table.
Xiao Chengzi looked at Li Zhi's face and felt that the emperor didn't seem to mean to be angry, so he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the emperor didn't remember that he was the one who came up with this bad idea in the first place!
As the sky above me was divided into squares, the familiar depression and solemnity seeped into people's bones again.
Sitting in the bedroom of Yuxiu Palace, which was close to the Yeting Palace, looking around at the girls with unfamiliar faces on her side, Wu Meiniang only felt an inexplicable tightness in her heart.
should have known that she couldn't escape this fate, but the faint unwillingness in her heart made her a little angry. Standing up and avoiding the few women who were chattering and full of novelty, Wu Meiniang got up and walked outside.
This is not the first time she has been here, although she did not live in this room last time, but this not gorgeous yard still makes her remember it vividly.
In addition to the queen of the main palace, even the emperor's favorite woman has to pass through the pass of Yuxiu Palace.
The last time I saw this square yard seemed to be when she was fourteen years old, right? It was only a wall away from Yuxiu Palace, and from time to time there were desperate cries in the courtyard, which once made her so scared that she couldn't sleep at night.
But now, the crying in the Yeting Palace next door only made her feel indifferent, maybe this is the silent warning of the Tang Dynasty: The palace has its own rules in the palace! Not the slightest mess!
Gently folded a weeping willow in front of the court, leaned to the end of her nose and sniffed the fresh breath, not caring at all about the surprised eyes of the little palace maid on the side, Wu Meiniang turned around and walked back with a faint smile.
Now that you're here again, let her be willful for once! She doesn't want to be that Wu Meiniang who forbears everything! She's going to live happily!
As soon as I stepped on the porch, I heard the sound of intermittent talking.
"I don't know who the surname Wu is? It's really annoying to ......! ”
"That's it! Everyone is here to run, what is there to put on the shelf? ”
"Forget it! Don't talk about it, maybe people have another ......"
The chattering sound stopped abruptly the moment Wu Meiniang stepped into the door, looking at the women with different expressions in the room, Wu Meiniang just raised her eyebrows with a smile, walked back to her bed and sat down, ignoring the embarrassment of the long-tongued women who wanted to get into the cracks in the ground.
Compared with Wu Meiniang's leisurely and comfortable, the businessmen who couldn't cry and laugh for their marriage lost this leisure.
originally thought that it would only be good for the two of them to be happy, at most they would follow the wishes of their brothers and take some ancient rites, but who knew that all this was not as simple as she thought, and even the green sleeves with a big belly pulled her to the street every day, running to various gold shops, picking up the style of head jewelry.
Which are the old styles, to be melted to make new ones, which ones can be bought directly ready-made, which styles to add pearls, which ones to be inlaid with jade, turquoise, coral stone, and so on.
At this time, looking at the hand holding the little girl still holding the green sleeves of the jade pendant and the jade in the jade shop, the merchant really felt that his head was starting to hurt.
"Green Sleeves! Let's go back! It looks pretty much the same, no need to pick anymore, these are enough! Pulling the hem of the green-sleeved shirt, the merchant begged in a low voice.
"Just do it! Look at it, is this piece of mandarin duck pendant more transparent than the one we just saw? ”
While perfunctory to the merchants, the green sleeves held up a piece of Hetian jade with a round carved mandarin duck in his hand, looking at the sun, the white jade seemed to exude a faint halo, transparent as the dew on the petals in the morning.
"Yes, yes, yes! It's good if you say yes! The merchant nodded weakly, completely speechless at the mania of the green sleeves.
"Shopkeeper, wrap this piece for me." Green Sleeves also nodded with satisfaction, and beckoned to the shopkeeper who was waiting on the side.
Looking at the shopkeeper who was settling accounts on the side with a wooden face, just when the merchant was already extremely bored and depressed, Li Mo's clear voice was like a savior to free her from this helpless state.
"Merchant!"
"Li Mo!" The merchant looked at the man in brocade standing outside the shop in surprise.
Since returning to Chang'an, the two have been busy with each other, and they have not met yet, and when they saw Li Mo at this time, the businessman felt as if they hadn't seen each other for a long time.
"It's been so hard to find you here!" Li Mo smiled and looked at the businessman with a surprised face, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth couldn't be closed.
When he went to see Li Zhi in the morning, he finally agreed to put pressure on Qin Tianjian to find a suitable good day within three months, so that he could marry Shang Shang into the door.
In fact, according to what he meant, he didn't want to wait for three months, but Li Zhi didn't agree with anything, saying that he had to leave time for others to prepare a dowry, and they also had to prepare a suitable dowry, which made Li Mo dispel the idea of getting married within a month.
"Li Gongzi!" Hearing the voice, the green sleeves turned their heads and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, but were held up by the merchants on the side.
"You're a double now, what a salute! I stood firm first. While speaking, the merchant glanced at Li Mo, but Li Mo couldn't cry or laugh.
Green Sleeves looked at the appearance of the two of them, couldn't help but purse his lips and smiled, and said with the little girl's hand: "I can see almost what I should see today, I'll go back first, you talk to Li Gongzi, and I'll come back sooner!" ”
After sending the green sleeves to the Su family's carriage, the merchant turned around and looked at Li Mo and said, "You came to me at this time, is there something wrong?" ”
Li Mo looked at Shang Shang and smiled, and whispered, "Wu Meiniang has entered the palace." ”
"Really?" Hearing this, the merchant looked up at Li Mo in surprise.
In addition to the green sleeves, I am afraid that Wu Meiniang is the closest to her now, counting the days, it is indeed these days. As soon as he thought of being able to go to see Wu Meiniang, Shang Shang's depression just now was swept away.
