The flow of people is weaving. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although the weather is getting colder day by day, but the people in Chang'an City are smiling, this year's wind and rain are smooth, grain production has increased, even ordinary small households have a lot of living money in their hands than in previous years, the big girls and little daughters-in-law have taken to the streets to choose their favorite rouge powder or cloth clothes, and the large and small vendors in the street market are even more full of red light and make a lot of money.

Finally managed to steal the vacancy out of the palace, Li Mo wore a navy blue cloth robe without any ornamentation, and the merchants with the sleeves of the Hu Fu arrow sleeves in their hands slowly walked through the market, merging into the noisy flow of people, quietly enjoying this rare calmness under the rare warm sun in late autumn.

The people around me all had big smiles on their faces, and the naughty children walked through the crowd, making "giggle" laughter from time to time.

The merchant turned his head and looked at Li Mo, who was holding her bare hand. His thick big palm held her little hand firmly in the palm of his hand, warmly wrapped her little hand that was a little cold, and led her to move forward step by step.

"Li Mo, let's find a restaurant to sit in! It's time to be tired after walking for a long time! The merchant leaned close to Li Mo's ear and said loudly.

The surrounding people were full of voices, and the businessmen were really afraid that Li Mo would not hear what they said, although when they got up, Li Mo's round ears tempted her teeth to come forward and wreak havoc.

"Good!" Li Mo nodded slightly, pulled her hand and pulled Shang Shang into his arms with a little force, looked at her slightly red cheeks with some amusement, and said softly: "You don't have to be so loud, I can hear it." ”

"Oh! I know. Shang Shang nodded, stretched out the tip of his tongue playfully, and unexpectedly saw Li Mo's eyes darken, and he hurriedly "giggled", broke away from his hand, and ran forward by himself.

"Watch out for the wound on your back! Do you want to go to the kitchen to sit? Li Mo asked behind him, and looked at the petite body of the merchant happily running out happily.

"No need, I want to go to other houses to eat and see, know myself and the enemy, so that I can win all battles!" The merchant ran two steps through the crowd, stopped, and returned with a smile.

When the two of them stopped under the "Jianyue Tower", the two people who chased and fled were already flushed, and the merchant leaned on Li Mo's chest panting, turned his head to look at the gorgeously decorated restaurant in front of him, and immediately decided that he wanted to go in and try it, she had been in Chang'an for so long, except for the kitchen, she really hadn't eaten out a few times.

The guy at the door saw the two of them with sharp eyes, and he hurriedly smiled and squinted and bent over to come over to greet him:

"Do you want to eat? Upstairs please! There is also a quiet private room, from the private room where we see the moon building, the entire Chang'an City is in full view! ”

"That's it!" Shang Shang glanced back at Li Mo, the doting in his eyes was so obvious that her face was a little hot.

"Arrange for us a room facing the street." Li Mo took the hand of the merchant and followed Xiao Er to the building.

Jianyue Lou is a famous time-honored restaurant in Chang'an, which has enjoyed a good reputation when the Yang family was in charge of the world in the past, and now after so many years, it is even more famous, and there is an endless stream of people who come to pay for their gluttonous wishes every day.

Li Mo and Shang Shang went up the stairs to the second floor, and the private rooms were very quiet, leaning on the railing, just enough to see a pot of green evergreen in the central patio.

Xiao Er took the lead and stopped in front of a private room with a green bamboo plaque on the door frame, pushed the door open, and said with some apologies:

"Two guest officers! I'm afraid that there is no private room facing the street, this private room is facing Weishui, and the two of them can see the sailboats coming and going in the river from here, but it is not interesting! ”

Li Mo and the merchant glanced around in the private room, nodded with satisfaction, Xiao Er hurriedly carried the teapot in his hand into the room, turned over the teacup on the round table in the middle of the private room, poured hot tea, and then stood aside with his hands down and waited for the order.

"There are only two of us, just bring a few of your specialty dishes in the building! It's okay, don't come in. Li Mo sat at the table, glanced at the tea cup on the table, and did not reach out to serve it, but the merchant leaned on the window and watched the boats coming and going on the Wei River.

Xiao Er stepped back smartly, but after a while, he took some snacks and put them on the table, put the teapot on the charcoal stove in the corner of the house, signaled the two to wait, and then withdrew.

Li Mo wrapped the merchant into his arms, rested his chin on her shoulder, and gently rubbed his face against her cheek.

"What? Want to take a boat? ”

The merchant didn't look back, and Fleur's face flushed slightly, but she shook her head slightly.

"I want to take a boat, but ------ it's not the right time. You still have so much to do, at least ------ at least until the crown prince sits on the throne that you will be able to get out of the way at that time. ”

Li Mo sighed silently, and the businessman's empathy made him feel distressed. Knowing that it was impossible for him to withdraw now, he never asked for it, and even if he wanted to escape from the place that bound her, he just waited for him.

"It's coming! It's almost there! Li Ke may be about to make a move in the near future. ”

"Shot? What's the deal? What's going on? The merchant turned his head in some surprise, and he didn't even notice that his lip had brushed Li Mo's cheek.

Li Mo was so sweet that his heart seemed to be about to melt, but he still spoke: "Li Ke is only afraid that he already knows my identity, and with the promotion of King Jing, he may be about to launch an offensive in the near future, but I don't know how he will start, the prince and the eldest grandson are observing." ”

"He found out who you are?" The merchant frowned thoughtfully.

What does this mean? The merchant has also heard Li Mo mention the ancestral teachings of the Li family, there is no impermeable wall in this world, and now that Li Ke knows, he will inevitably take advantage of this, but how he will make a move is indeed a problem.

"That's right! It's just that I don't know how much he knows about Zu Xun, if he doesn't know yet, he may at most just try to kidnap me to order the prince, if he knows Zu Xun------ I'm afraid that there will be more articles he can do! ”

Li Mo's face became a little gloomy, although he couldn't be sure of this, but he didn't have much hope, King Jing was very close to Jiancheng back then, maybe he had learned something from him.

"Do you mean that he may have coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes? Will the emperor let him do this? The businessman was a little unconvinced, and Li Shimin's attention to Li Mo was clear to her. If it weren't for Li Mo, presumably this generation of emperors would never look at her differently.

"If you really kidnap me, how will you let that person know?" Li Mo was a little awkward, he was still not used to calling Li Shimin's father, and every time he mentioned him, he would always replace him with "that one".

"You! Brainless! Shang Shang poked Li Mo's forehead funny, there was nothing he could do about his stubbornness, but he couldn't bear to force him.

Li Mo knew what Shang Shang was talking about, but he just smiled and did not refute it. As long as he knows in his heart what he thinks, why should he force the rest of the ------?

"Knock! Knock! Knock! There was a knock at the door.

"Come in!" Li Mo let go of the merchant, cut her sideburns, and pulled her back to the table from the window.

Xiao Er walked in with the little servants who passed the dishes, and five dishes and one soup were already on the table in a moment, which looked like they were both good in color and taste, and the dishes in the private room were full of fragrance.

Li Mo casually threw a piece of broken silver to Xiao Er, and watched him go down with a smile.

"Come on! Merchant, try it! Li Mo picked up the silver spoon and scooped a spoonful of the crispy "Yellow Braised Mutton" and put it in the bowl in front of the merchant.

"Hmmm! You can eat some too. The merchant looked at the meat soup in the bowl with great interest, this dish will also be available in future generations, but I don't know what it tastes like now?

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Li Ke stood under the withered peach tree and waited quietly, his dark brown robe almost blending with the thick trunk at his side.

He is waiting here for news from Wu Meiniang, and he needs the last confirmation. After waiting so long, he didn't want all his hard work to be wasted because of his momentary negligence.

Wu Meiniang's figure slowly appeared in front of his eyes, the lotus-colored high-waisted skirt was still picked by him for her, wearing it on her looked extremely elegant and gorgeous, and the full blooming twigs on the skirt could not compare to the beauty on her face.

Wu Meiniang looked back and made sure that no one was coming, so she flashed into the peach forest.

"Third Highness!"

"You're here." Li Ke's eyes were full of expectation, but his heart suddenly became apprehensive, in case ...... What if the news brought by Mei Niang is not what he wants to hear?

"Hmm!" Mei Niang replied softly, just looking at him like this, she felt that her mood was flying.

"I've already probed, Li Zhi has no injuries on his back, and it must not be him I saw that day."

Looking at the eagerness in Li Ke's eyes, Wu Meiniang couldn't bear to let him wait for a long time. Since she put him in her heart, all his joys, sorrows, and sorrows became hers.

I just want ...... I just want ...... On the day he ascends to the throne, don't forget her! is just a small talent, and she is willing to stay by his side!

Li Ke exhaled a long breath from his mouth, and the big stone that had been hanging in his heart for a long time finally fell down at this time, and after confirming this, all his arrangements were finally not in vain, and the rest was a good opportunity.

"Mei Niang! Thank you! ”

Li Ke looked at the woman in front of him with a complicated expression, clearly saw the strong affection on her face, and finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

"What's the matter?" Mei Niang looked at her sweetheart in front of her with love, and the voice in her mouth was soft as if it was a burst of humbling.

"Three days later, it will be the big court meeting at the beginning of the month, I want you to think about staying with Li Zhi before the court meeting, it's best to ...... Is it possible to have some intimacy with you...... Can it be done? Li Ke whispered, staring at Wu Meiniang's face seriously, not letting go of the slightest expression on her face.

Wu Meiniang's heart jumped, as soon as Li Zhi was mentioned, she remembered the scene of that day, the palpitating breath on Li Zhi's body seemed to return to her nose, rushed into her body, and sucked away every bit of strength in her body, making her standing body a little shaky.

"This ......"

"What? You don't want to go? Li Kehu looked at the look on Wu Meiniang's face suspiciously, such hesitation, he hadn't seen it on Wu Meiniang's face.

"It's not! It's just that...... It's just that...... The last time I went to investigate his injuries, it seemed... He's already aware of it! ”

Wu Meiniang didn't dare to mention what Li Zhi said, she didn't want Li Ke to feel that she couldn't even do such a trivial thing, if Li Ke really felt that she was useless, maybe he would never come to her next time.

"Noticed?" Li Ke frowned. If that's the case, things won't be easy!

If this strategy fails, the ministers of the pro-prince faction will become a strong pillar to support the crown prince. At present, there is no one in charge of the army under his command, and if the court falls to the middle, he will only be defeated by then!

"yes!" Wu Meiniang was a little timid, and she didn't dare to look at Li Ke's eyes.

Li Ke looked at Wu Meiniang's evasive eyes, and didn't find her heart empty, just thought that she understood the meaning of her words, and was a little shy. After thinking about it, he said:

"Mei Niang! You need to know that our future is at stake, and you are the person I trust the most! In any case, before the court meeting in three days, you must try to get along with Li Zhi. This is the only time you can figure it out! ”

Looking at the beloved in front of her softly begging, Wu Meiniang really couldn't say anything to refuse, the handkerchief in her hand twisted and twisted, and she had to nod her head gently.

Although Li Ke's approach is a little unauthentic, he actually wants to buckle the big hat that entangles the concubine to Li Zhi's head in order to achieve his goal of abolishing the crown prince, but the fighting in the royal family has always been cruel, and there are many people who are more ruthless than him. Thinking like this, Wu Meiniang was also relieved. As for what Li Zhi said, if there was something she wanted to fight for, she would have been thrown out of the clouds a long time ago, and she never thought that what Li Zhi said would be her!

"Mei Niang! Please! I'll go first. ”

Li Ke saw that she agreed, so he stopped being verbose, patted the dirt on his body leaning on the trunk of the tree and turned around and left, he had stayed here for too long, and if he didn't go out, he might arouse suspicion.

Mei Niang stood in place, trying to stop him, but seeing that he had made up his mind, her outstretched hand retracted, and she couldn't hide her disappointment when she looked at Li Ke's departing back.

Gloomily turned around and walked back and forth, Wu Meiniang's heart was as depressed as this autumn color.

Li Ke was in a hurry every time he entered the palace to see her, and he was about to leave before the two could say a word, for fear of being seen. Even when he spoke, there were few warm words about his heart, most of them were the things he asked her to do and the so-called future of the two.

Thinking about it, since the two have met, her full of affection seems to have not received a warm return, although it is due to her identity, but this time Wu Meiniang still feels aggrieved, and her eyes are faintly filled with tears.

The ambiguous moment with Li Zhi at the corner that day appeared in her mind very clearly, Wu Meiniang's face darkened, and she sighed softly.

Even Li Zhi, the prince who has always been said to be weak, has such great courage, but why did Li Ke, who was tied to his heart, not even hold her hand? When will she be able to stand openly with Li Ke under this sun, and see Li Ke not shy away from showing her a smile at all?
