When Shangguan Wan'er was ordered to come to Ciwutai, the young king was playing with the eunuch Yang Jiujiao in the hall. He wore a close-fitting silk robe, and when he exerted force, the fabric was tight, unable to hide the strong muscles between his limbs and his shoulders and back.

The palace people were about to come forward to report, Shangguan Wan'er raised her hand to stop it, stood outside the hall door and watched the competition in the hall, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously had a hint of a smile.

Now she is more valued by His Majesty the Holy Emperor, and she has endless things to do every day, but under the surface of this busyness, there is a kind of boredom that repeats itself. is also because of this boring life in the deep palace day after day, which makes her deeply impressed by many fresh people.

Thinking about the old days, I first saw the young king in the back corridor of the Yin Palace, no matter how strange the dead came back to life, it was just a delicate and sick state, and the radiant and energetic appearance in front of me was simply like two people.

Although the palace people did not announce it, a group of people stood at the door, with the influence of light and shadow, and Li Tong quickly noticed it. He motioned for Yang Siqiao to pause, put away his posture, turned around and said with a smile to Shangguan Wan'er: "After a long absence, at first glance, you can't be courteous, please don't be guilty of it." ”

Seeing that the young king was approaching, and his physical appearance was different from that of previous years, Shangguan Wan'er subconsciously took a small step back, her eyes flashed, and she couldn't help but say: "If I am not mistaken, even if we met in the old days, the king may have a polite posture, but he can be called courteous." ”

After Li Tong heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, but he didn't expect Shangguan Wan'er to be in the mood to joke with him. After being stunned for a moment, he also laughed: "There is always a reason to have to do it." Especially in front of a dignified and elegant person like a talented person, he always feels abrupt when he is too casual, and he can only see each other for an indefinite period of time when he practices every day, so he can only make a show and cover it up falsely. ”

"It does make sense. For example, if the king said this, it is better not to say it. ”

Shangguan Wan'er's beautiful eyes were shining, and her mood rarely became more relaxed, and when she saw that the living arrangements in the hall were still complete, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Does the king plan to live here for a long time?" ”

"The world is vicious, but in this, the people of the palace are thoughtful, and they are ruthless and difficult, which is reassuring."

Ciwutai is rarely inhabited here, especially with the Li Tong family entering the Guanzhong in the west, there are few people coming and going throughout the year, and only maintaining basic sprinkling and cleaning on weekdays. Now that the young king lives in, all the utensils are used by the palace people on their own initiative, although this kindness is not of much help, but it does make Li Tong quite moved.

After a few words of laughter, Shangguan Wan'er looked solemn, and said, "His Majesty the Holy Emperor summoned the king into the palace to meet him. ”

After Li Tong heard this, he nodded, motioned to Shangguan Wan'er to wait for a while, walked into the inner room, and changed into his old clothes. Although the wind and dust were washed away, there were still blood stains on the robe from the earlier beating.

Seeing this scene, Shangguan Wan'er opened her mouth to speak, but after thinking about it, she still closed her mouth. She has been serving in the palace recently, and she has seen several subtle changes in His Majesty the Holy Emperor's attitude towards this matter, and when it comes to her deep understanding of the Empress, she is afraid that she will not dare to boast in front of the young king.

After changing his clothes, Li Tong walked out of here with Shangguan Wan'er, and on the way, he couldn't help but take a little look at the beautiful woman walking beside him, only to feel that there was almost no difference from the memories of previous years.

Shangguan Wan'er naturally also noticed the young king's gaze, and she was still restrained at first, but gradually became a little unnatural, so she simply turned her head and looked straight at the young king.

Seeing Shangguan Wan'er like this, Li Tong couldn't help laughing: "If I were a woman, I would probably be jealous and report to the sky, why did Nianhua encroach on this person!" ”

When Shangguan Wan'er heard this, her eyebrows fluttered, and after a while, she snorted: "If the king is a woman, he will probably be disgusted by the sky, and the rest will not matter, and those who report the mistakes and omissions of the years will be afraid that there will be more than one concubine." It is no wonder that the Xijing Pingkangli players compete for their talents, and those who are thin on the arts always feel that they want to play with the elegant ones, so they think that they have not been disappointed. The king is rich in talent, and his mouth is like a river, if he doesn't check himself, he doesn't know how many daughters' minds will be trampled upon. At the beginning of the return, the crowd is disturbed, and it is not enough to admonish yourself? ”

After Li Tong heard this, he consciously sneered, I praise you for your beauty, you call me a scumbag?

After walking for another distance, Shangguan Wan'er saw that the young king was no longer talking, and couldn't help but turn her head and whispered: "People have everything that is abundant, and it is always inevitable to show off and give indiscriminately. This kind of falsehood, the king can confide in the concubine, the rest of the concubines have no boasting, and they can always be self-controlled. ”

As she spoke, she couldn't help laughing when she saw the young king's surprised eyes.

Soon, the group arrived at Xishang Pavilion, thinking that they were going to see his grandmother again, Li Tong also secretly adjusted his mood. Although it is no longer the first time he has met, he is still a little nervous in the face of his grandmother Wu Zetian.

Although Guan Wan'er didn't reveal anything to him along the way, her relatively relaxed attitude actually told him that his grandmother should be in a good mood now, and there should not be too much pressure to summon him this time.

Li Tong waited on the left side of the hall, and Shangguan Wan'er went straight into the hall, but she didn't come out for a long time.

As time passed quietly and the waiting time was extended, Li Tong also came out consciously, regardless of whether his grandmother was really busy in the hall, but he summoned him but disappeared, it seemed that he was making a small temperament and wanted to dry him.

In the middle, Wei Tuan'er walked here, and saw the young king standing on the left side of the palace, and he was also mixed with joy and sorrow for a while, and asked for instructions if he wanted to enter the palace and report again, but Li Tong just turned his hand and waved. Lovers have a lot of intentions between them, but if the queen's little fist is smashed down, it is enough to pierce people's chests.

Waiting until the sun set in the west, Li Tong also stood in the Xishang Pavilion for nearly two hours, and there were several southern provincial ministers in the middle, and they were also a little surprised to see the young king standing here.

Li Zhaode, the squire of the Fengge, acted with little scruples, and when he stood outside the hall to see him, he stood side by side with the young king, and nodded to the young king with some familiarity: "What the king did a few days ago can be boasted of. To come to such an evil minister is to have a lack of repair. ”

Li Tong just snorted when he heard this, your attitude of boasting is not right, and it doesn't mean that I have indeed broken the law. It is the responsibility of your prime minister that the minister owes repairs, although more often than not, you are repaired.

Although he was hung out of the hall by his grandmother, Li Tong was not without gains, especially after seeing the expressions of several people in Southern Province looking at him. Although Lao Tzu has committed a crime, he can still stand close to this place, and Lai Junchen has this treatment? What to do next, you savor.

It wasn't until the evening that Wei Tuan'er's slightly excited tone sounded in the palace gate: "Your Majesty is taking the king into the palace and dining." ”

Seeing her like this, Li Tong couldn't help but sigh again, this brain is all useless, of course, because she is a woman, it can't be said to be useless.

You are so emotionally exposed, and you simply write the words "Hedong Wang's ears and eyes" in your head another day, thanks to me and my grandmother are not bad, at least it didn't make her bored or alert, otherwise she might really pick out this eye.

Thinking so in his heart, he raised his legs and walked into the hall slowly, looking like his legs were numb for too long. Although the actual situation is not so serious, at this time, don't boast that I am in good shape.

Seeing this, Wei Tuan'er hurriedly stepped forward to help. Although she is also tall among women, she is now only in the ears of the king.

Wu Zetian lowered his eyes in the inner hall and saw this scene, although his face did not change much, but his tone was also softened and whispered: "The style of the king of Hedong is even better, who has such a handsome son, and can bear not to be clothed with brocade and flowers?" ”

Shangguan Wan'er, who was in charge of passing the meal on the other side, trembled at the corners of his mouth after hearing this, this handsome man in your family is much more energetic than other families, but he is wearing a body of blood to show you.

"Chen Baoyu knocks on Your Majesty, may my emperor live long live long live."

Li Tong slowly moved to the inner hall, bowed down and quickly put away his face.

Wu Zetian was still with a straight face, but when he heard this congratulations, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, and raised his hand to point to the lower seat: "Take a seat first, dine." ”

Or she felt that her attitude was too relaxed, and she added in a deep voice: "I'll talk about your sins later!" ”

Li Tong was sincerely afraid to return to the salute, and then walked into the side seat and sat down, chewing slowly on the full meal, and at the same time keeping his eyes on the hall, and when he saw his grandmother put down the chopsticks, he quickly stopped.

Wu Zetian raised his hand to signal him to continue, although the action was not big, but this scene fell in Li Tong's eyes, he was still very grateful, it was not in vain that Lao Tzu had been flattering and patting hard for so many years, and he finally had to be rewarded.

Moved, he even hung his head and sobbed, his shoulders trembled, and then he pushed the case forward, attended the deep worship, and choked up in a choked tone: "The minister is guilty, the minister is ...... Your Majesty is busy with state affairs, and the sun is almost eclipsed, and the ministers can't be grateful and tired, but they are disturbed by Meng Lang's behavior and miscellaneous feelings. Your Majesty's mercy on all kinds of people is like the pain of a torture rod to me, and the ministers and ministers really can't bear it......"

"Oh, you still know you're guilty? If you could have thought this beforehand, why would you cry now? Now that the wrong thing has been made, it is still difficult to get up in Zhongcheng, you have lived in the pavilion to avoid things for a short time, do you have any remedial strategies until now? ”

When Wu Zetian saw this scene in the palace, he also spoke.

After Li Tong heard this, he raised his head and said in a condensed voice: "Come to life and death, what is the matter with the ministers?" His people indulge in their own evil, and their words and deeds touch me, so they punish them. The sins I feel today are only when I see that my relatives are burdened with heavy labor, and I hate myself for not being able to share my sorrows......"

"You kid is my trouble, and you dare to invite me!"

When Wu Zetian heard this, he was stunned at first, and then he put on a straight face and snorted coldly: "Lai Mou is a capable official recommended by the court and selected by the state, and he was almost killed by you by lynching, and you still consciously bowed down?" ”

"The national election, the minister does not dare to talk about right and wrong, and only feels his own pain. I have nothing to do with Lai, I have no enmity and enmity, I return to the capital, bow to my relatives, and concurrently serve as consuls, and I have all kinds of words and deeds, and I am not outside the rules and regulations. If they touch me with their own desires, I will lynch them. Dao Zuo's small grievances, at the time of the incident, they didn't think about each other's positions, so why bother talking about them afterwards? ”

Li Tong stayed in Ciwutai for one night, and his thinking became clearer, and he should not admit the crime, that is, he could not admit anything.
