The envoy guided forward, Li Tong followed, bypassed the West Dynasty Hall, and after entering the vicinity of the West Pavilion, he turned into a curved corridor, and then turned several times before entering a garden of considerable scale.

Walking into this, Li Tong couldn't help but be stunned. He has been in and out of Ouchi a lot of times, and he has even entered the West Pavilion and the Guanwen Hall on the west side of it several times, but he didn't know that there was still such a garden between the two halls.

It seems that this should be a rather private dormitory of his grandmother in Ouchi Palace, so it can be seen that Wu Zetian's sense of crisis is also not weak.

The envoy introduced the king of Hedong here, and His Royal Highness in front of him came out with a female official, and the first one was Wei Tuan'er, who had not been seen for a long time.

Wei Tuan'er was wearing a pomegranate-colored skirt, the bright red shawl set off the face more delicate, the figure was slender, the hair was combed in a high bun, and the pointed silk shoes under the feet were also brightly decorated, as if stepping on flowers.

She walked down the stairs from the corridor, a pair of wonderful eyes fell on the young king from afar, and walked quickly, and when she got closer, the smile on her face was even more moving, her eyes were up and down, and she looked at the young king seriously, and her breath between her lips and tongue was slightly panting, but she didn't speak for a while.

Li Tong took a step forward, raised his hand lightly, and said with a smile: "Wei Niangzi is good, I know that Niangzi mentions palace affairs, don't come to see it, sure enough, the style is more thoughtful, which makes people respectful." ”

Wei Tuan'er's face was slightly red when she heard this, she covered her pursed lips with her bare hands, and only sighed after a while: "What is there to boast about, but Your Majesty is kind and does not dare to say thank you." Style gain, who and the king in recent times. The king's clear voice showed that he was no longer the idle nobles in the old garden, and his gas was noble, so that the old people did not dare to approach the nuisance again, and they were afraid that they would not be inferior. ”

"Spring blossoms and autumn fruits, and it is a branch. Aside from the miscellaneous feelings outside his body, Xiao Wang is still an old man. Step by step, do not forget the way you came, shallow and clumsy in the favor of the old, so the righteousness is cold, is my inconsiderate treatment of people. Even if it has a small reputation, it is really ashamed that the praise is not true. ”

When Li Tong heard this, he smiled apologetically. People's inner feelings are also closely related to chance, and now he is facing Wei Tuan'er calmly, not as embarrassed as before.

"The king reads a lot on his own, and the concubine is forbidden to be trapped in the maid, his ears and eyes are idle, and he reads the stories of the old people and chats about his life. Reunite and remember yesterday, and complain for a while, and ask the king for forgiveness. ”

Wei Tuan'er sighed in a low voice, then took a step back and raised his arm to guide: "His Majesty the Divine Emperor is eating in the dormitory, so I ordered the king to eat here." ”

Li Tong bowed slightly to her, and then walked forward.

Wei Tuan'er was a few feet behind, followed quickly, and his eyes fell on the side of the young king's face, only to find that the young king's figure had grown a few inches taller. The edges and corners of the side face are also more distinct, just like the fine material and jade are polished day by day, there are already the lines of the Zhang, the edge is exposed, and it can pierce people's hearts more.

Li Tong approached the hall, and heard the sound of singing and music under the corridor, which was his previous work "Luoyang Daughter's Line", entered the hall and bowed, and then heard his grandmother Wu Zetian's somewhat lazy and leisurely voice: "Get up, enter the table to eat." ”

Li Tong thanked him for being seated, and his own palace maid stepped forward to take out all kinds of meals from the food box and put them on the dining table, which was not an exaggerated delicacy, nothing more than mutton and deer roast, fish and corn soup.

The ingredients may not be precious, but the craftsmanship is extraordinary, the mutton is simmered, the deer is fat, the fish is as thin as cicada wings, and the soup is fragrant and glutinous. Although Li Tong was cautious on this occasion, he also had a great appetite at this time, and he ate very happily.

Wu Zetian changed the crown, wore a splendid and gorgeous open skirt, sat on the upper seat and looked at his grandson who was eating silently, seeing that he was eating sweetly, he had already eaten the meal, and felt that there was a stir under his tongue, and he raised his hand to order someone to serve another warm soup, and drank it slowly.

"Grain essence is healthy, eat more and live longer. His Majesty and the king are connected by blood and bones, and when he sees the king eating in front of his knees, he naturally opens his spleen and stomach. ”

Wei Tuan'er stood under the throne of the gods, and said with a smile when he saw this.

After Wu Zetian heard this, his eyebrows and eyes relaxed, and he raised his hand to point at the maid and said with a smile: "It can be seen that people have to grow up after all, and Tuan'er talks to the heart, and she is no longer the naïve lady of previous years." ”

As she spoke, she lowered her head and pointed at Li Tong and said with a smile: "The king is the age of Jiahe and the ears of the family, unlike those old things who have matured in the foreign dynasties, they endure hunger every day and participate in the court, not a good state of raising young people." Don't rush to the future, come home and dine with your grandmother. ”

After hearing this, Li Tong hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks and attended to thank him. After Wu Zetian saw this, he waved his hand and asked him to go back to continue eating, and he asked people to add food, which shows that he really has a great appetite.

Li Tong raised his eyes and handed Wei Tuan'er a grateful look, thanking her for opening her mouth and taking a job for herself. Wei Tuan'er squinted and smiled at him, and made a small salivating gesture.

Drinking two bowls of warm soup in a row, Wu Zetian's appetite was really satisfied, and Li Tong also put down his chopsticks when he saw this, after all, this is not an occasion to eat in large chunks, and he has to fill his stomach.

After the meal was removed and the fragrant tea was rinsed, Wu Zetian raised his hand to let the musicians of the inner teaching workshop who had retreated to the left of the hall continue to sing, and motioned for Li Tong to sit closer to the table.

She leaned on the soft pillow, tapped her knees with her bent fingers, and waited until Ge Yue had performed it again, and then pointed at Li Tong and sighed and smiled: "Parents always hope that the young and young people in the door are interesting and boastful, but they usually have small regrets." Wang Nengyong is very showy, funny and idle, and the music is amazing, who dares to laugh at my disciples? ”

Li Tong leaned over and knelt down and said respectfully: "The minister doesn't dare to be self-proclaimed, and the reckless playwright is ordinary, and he was lucky to be invited to the wrong reward." What I got was just plain words, the beauty of vocal music, but it depended on the help of Yabin. ”

"The chapter is elegant and dramatic, the essence of the advantages and disadvantages is free, and it is not in the right and wrong of people. But with a wonderful pen in hand, why not be afraid of boasting. The unfinished work of the guest Hui Cheng is also because Wang Neng has the power to gather interest first. Standing is brave, writing is proud, Wang can show his demeanor, and his family can also be prosperous, without being humble. ”

Wu Zetian said with a smile again, then closed his eyes and enjoyed the music, and only after a while did he ask again: "What kind of pretty girl can hook the young king's taste?" ”

Hearing this question, Wei Tuan'er, who was knocking on the shoulders and stroking the back of the God Emperor, also turned his head to look at the young king, and his eyes were also full of curiosity.

After Li Tong heard this, he hurriedly replied: "It is a woman from a family surnamed Tang in Jingzhao, her grandfather and father are both in other states, and she is sent to her uncle to support her, and she lives next door to Linfang. The ministers are coincidental, greedy for beauty, afraid of things, and hypocritical songs......"

Wu Zetian just nodded after hearing this, and didn't ask in detail, she was purely curious about Wen Ge, but she just said: "Choose the time to introduce the forbidden middle school, so that my grandmother can also see what kind of daughter can make my Jia Sun Se's heart palpitate." ”

After Li Tong heard this, he hurriedly nodded yes.

This is not the main purpose of Wu Zetian's summoning of her grandson to see her today, after the song was written, she raised her hand to retreat, opened her eyes and sat up to look at Li Tong and said, "I heard that your aunt sent her to your house for a long time?" ”

"Yes, there is this matter, and the minister has no other talents to use, since my aunt is not tired of being clumsy and shallow, the minister can only try his best to share the labor and introduce his cousin into goodness."

Li Tong hurriedly said again.

When Wu Zetian heard this, his eyes became a little complicated, and after a moment of silence, he sighed: "This is not something you should bear, but it is difficult for a talented person to be idle, and it is unavoidable to be reasonable." That lady is arrogant and flamboyant, and it is rare to be willing to be close to you, and she still has some understanding. She is more than 20 years old, and it is also unfortunate and pitiful for her to change in this life. There are still relatives and apprentices at home, so as to avoid loneliness......"

Speaking of this, she paused for a moment, stood up from the royal bed, and lowered her head to look at the young king: "Born in this door, family affairs and state affairs cannot be clearly distinguished. If you are really just a self-proclaimed clumsy child, sideways and rich, there are many things that need not be explained to you too clearly. But my grandson is not a vulgar talent, and the elders need your little courage to help them move forward, so as not to live up to this high hope. ”

When Li Tong heard this, he could only bow down without a crown, and said respectfully: "Jun En is kind, he bears the load, and he receives it with one body, which is beyond the reach of others." The minister does not dare to be withdrawn and stupid, and he is brave and brave, even if he can't be the first, he will not be left behind! ”

"Good, good! The young generation should have such an atmosphere, scrambling to be the first, how can I say that there is no one in the court! Even if there is only a slight light, the sun and moon will shine on you. What's more, my good grandson is not only inch, can he not be respected by the world? ”

Wu Zetian walked down slowly, clapped his hands and cheered, and leaned over to pull Li Tong up from the ground, with more excitement in his expression.

It was the first time that Li Tong was so close to his grandmother, and his fingers trembled subconsciously, but he still stood with his hands down, and couldn't help but look at his grandmother carefully.

From this close-up, you can clearly see that Wu Zetian's sideburns are white, and the corners and tips of his mouth and eyes are inevitably relaxed, but his eyes are still black and white, blazing, and there is no turbidity and old state, which makes people dare not look directly, and the whole person is full of energy.

Wu Zetian raised his hand to caress the top of his grandson's hair, slid his fingers between his eyebrows and lightly sighed, and then smiled toothy and returned to the imperial bed.

After returning to each other's tables, Li Tong sat with them and enjoyed the music for a while, and then got up to leave.

Wei Tuan'er led the young king out, her pace was a little slow, and Li Tong was not easy to walk too fast. Walking out of a distance slowly, Wei Tuan'er sighed faintly, and turned her eyes to look at the young king: "The concubine is really curious, what kind of color, can be such a beautiful song as a king?" ”

"It's just a grassy appearance, innocent and unadorned, and it's just a coincidence. Tired birds peck at the dew, reverse travel and stacking, the fun is just right, and it is difficult to distinguish the real from the fake. ”

When Wei Tuan'er heard this, his eyebrows were slightly resentful, and after a while, he forced a laugh: "The king's words are always so elegant. Coincidentally, I don't know how many people can't get it. Although the concubine can't get all of them, they are lucky compared to other people in the forbidden year, and they just happen to account for half of them. ”

After Li Tong heard this, she turned her head to look at this beautiful and almost demonic lady, and was about to speak, but Wei Tuan'er's pace sped up, and she walked until the exit of this garden, she stopped, the tip of her nose was already hidden with fine sweat, and the palm that had been hidden under the shawl stretched out, revealing the wrinkled embroidery bag inside and handed it to Li Tong: "It's not a coincidence, it's just that no one is willing to tie it, the king, the king ......."

Li Tong took a deep breath, still raised his hand to take the sachet, only to feel that the surface of the silk sac was moist with sweat, and then raised his head, Wei Tuan'er hurriedly squeezed out a smile, and then turned around and hurried away.
