The construction of Ciwutai is only a motion at the moment, and it should not officially start construction in the short term.

Even if there were no more sources, Li Tong could see the progress of the construction of the Ming Hall when he looked up in the forbidden middle. It is now late autumn, the year is gradual, and the construction of the Ming Hall has also reached a critical period. Even in the Ninchi Temple, you can hear the sound of craftsmen rushing to work at night.

The construction of the Ming Hall is a real major event for Wu Zetian, and the construction of Ciwutai naturally cannot be compared with it, so it can only be postponed.

However, Li Tong is not impatient about this, although if Ciwutai is built, it is equivalent to his family having one more bargaining chip to obtain asylum, but as long as it can be built before the first year of the Heavenly Grant, it is not too late.

I'm afraid that there will be some variables that will affect the completion of Ciwutai. After all, Wu Zetian also has a characteristic that he is fickle, even the gorgeous and magnificent Qianyuan Hall is said to be demolished, and it is really not a big deal to stop a project that has not yet started.

Originally, Li Tong was still hesitant to make a little contact with Xue Huaiyi, but now it seems that it is necessary. No matter what happens in the future, at least Xue Huaiyi, as Wu Zetian's male favorite, is incomparable.

In order to ensure that Ciwutai can be truly built and will not be interrupted by malicious people, it is necessary to maintain a harmonious relationship with Xue Huaiyi.

But the truth is such a truth, and it is very difficult to implement. At the moment, Xue Huaiyi is a popular fried chicken, and the distance between Li Tong and him is not much shorter than the distance with his grandmother Wu Zetian, and it is really difficult to contact each other, let alone maintain a harmonious relationship. This matter can only be kept in my heart for the time being, waiting for the opportunity.

Although Ciwutai has not yet been officially built, it has also brought real and immediate changes to the family's situation. After Wei Tuan'er's visit, several female officials in charge of the forbidden middle school came to visit on the same day, changing the status quo of the cold court of Renzhi Yuan.

After the arrival of these internal officials, in addition to the basic greeting ceremony, they also expressed their enthusiasm in different ways. It seems that because of Wei Tuan'er's visit, they realized that there was such an unspeakably expensive family living in the forbidden center.

This kind of warmth and coldness of human affection made Li Tong feel like Fan Jinzhongju, and he more deeply realized how much impact the change of his thoughts could have on people in the forbidden area under the shadow of the empress's power flame.

In line with the idea of listening more and watching more, in the next few days, Li Tong also accompanied his mother-in-law Fang to receive these visitors, but soon felt bored. Although the contact area of Renzhiyuan's life is narrow, the entire Great Inner Forbidden is nothing more than a larger area, and the things that people in these Inner Officials Palace have come into contact with are also limited, and the information they can provide is naturally lacking.

In order to integrate more deeply and comprehensively into this world, it is necessary to spread the perception beyond the forbidden world. Especially now that the family is no longer a nameless existence, the more attention they get, the greater the need for information.

Putting aside these trade-offs in Li Tong's own heart, the family's life has also changed because of the change in circumstances. After the catastrophe, Fang's was cautious, and he was polite to those who visited, and did not dare to neglect it.

My grandmother was busy with socializing, and the tutoring matter could only be put to an end temporarily. The happiest person about this is Li Shouli, this kid is estimated to have a grudge against Jingyi in his previous life, as long as he doesn't study, it's good. coincided with the improvement of family circumstances, and many people in the palace welcomed them, so they naturally let go of playing.

But even if it is opened again, in the Forbidden Palace, the scale will not be too large. These internal officials are nothing more than to offer some harmless Shuanglu, Lunpu and other fighting tools, among which the most popular one is a set of pitcher throwing tools, which he has fun every day, and soon grafted his skillful throwing skills seamlessly, and went farther and farther on the road of Xiao Li's flying knife.

In this regard, Li Tong can only sigh that the imagination limit brought by life experience is too great, Li Shouli, this guy is a dignified Tang heir, and after letting go of playing, he is still so boring, it is simply a shame in the world of squirrel!

However, Li Tong himself was not much better, and he was successfully promoted to the rank of groom. The palace servant sent a short fruit horse, the horse is less than a meter high, the color of the coat is pure white, it is a tribute from Goryeo, won the love of the little sister Li Youniang, every day riding and traveling, and even in the house has a corner for the pony to stay in the room at night.

The brothers in the family, Li Guangshun is too dull, even if Fang's lecture is suspended, he only stays in the room every day to review the old and learn the new. Li Shouli looked at this pony and was eager to try, of course, mainly because of itchy hands, wanting to let the young lady run up and make a target for himself, so he was included in the absolute blacklist by the little sister, and every time he saw this unobtrusive second brother figure in the courtyard, he was shocked and shouted.

In order to be able to dismiss Li Shouli, a villain, in time, Li Tong could only helplessly act as a horseman, after all, others did not dare to dismiss this heir at will. Anyway, he had nothing else to do, and when he heard the little girl's laughter, his mood was also rendered happy.

The circumstances have changed, not only the Yongwang family, but also other people in the Renzhi Temple have also been affected to some extent.

In October, when the sun was about to set in the evening, the Zhangzhi Xu family came to the courtyard of the Yongan King, and saw Zheng Jin standing under the corridor from a distance and directing the palace people to burn charcoal.

Since the temple was uninhabited for a long time, there were no perfect heating facilities, and as the weather turned cold, the rooms had to be heated with charcoal fires. If the charcoal flame is too strong, the whole room will be filled with smoke, so it is necessary to discharge the smoke in advance before it can be put into the hand stove or foot stove.

"Auntie takes care of the king's daily life, which is really meticulous."

Xu walked into the corridor, looked at Zheng Jin and said with a smile.

After Zheng Jin heard this, he sighed, lowered his head and poked the charcoal with a copper drill to observe the fire: "In the old year, when I was in the East Palace, I had my own fire channel laid, and the incense charcoal was used. Now that the personnel has changed, I can only redouble my heart, just asking Ah Lang to live comfortably. ”

Xu Shi also sighed in his heart after hearing this, but soon laughed again: "Although the face of heaven is unpredictable, the saint is still not declining, and it is always getting better and better." ”

When Zheng Jin heard this, he didn't refute it, the changes in the family's situation, especially after Ah Lang recovered from a serious illness a few months ago, are indeed getting better and better. Previously, they lived close to the courtyard house, not to mention the simple living conditions, and they could hear the sobbing and crying of the court sinners day and night. Ah Lang was disturbed by this, and he couldn't sleep every night, so he had to rely on her to accompany and comfort him all night.

Now he lives in the independent palace of Ninchiwon, and his diet and service have greatly improved. For example, in the winter of last year, living in a secluded and tidal place, there was not much supply of firewood and charcoal, and the family could only gather in the concubine's house around the stove to keep warm, and now it is even luxurious enough to burn and release charcoal. The improvement of the situation is really reflected in all aspects.

The only regret for Zheng Jin is probably that Ah Lang's temperament, words and deeds have changed a lot after he recovers from his illness, and he no longer relies on intimacy for her as in previous years.

But this is actually a good thing, she followed the lady into the palace, the master and servant of each other are deep, say a little arrogant words, after the lady died in Bazhong, she regarded Ah Lang as her own, who doesn't want her son to grow up, become independent and responsible?

"Palm straight, but something to visit?"

Seeing that the smoke of the charcoal fire was weakening, Zheng Jincai raised his head and asked Xu.

The smile on Xu's face was even more earnest: "There is something to ask the king for instructions, and Aunt Lao has a report." ”

The room was covered with curtains, a little stuffy, but warm. Xu walked in slowly, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that King Yong'an was wearing a snow-white fox fur, lying on the couch on his side, his hair was not tied in a bun and hung down on his chest and shoulders.

It was originally an ordinary living room, but it has changed depending on the person. The fox armpit coat glowed with a warm white halo under the light. But when people look at it, the first thing they notice is the young man in the coat.

The young man's face was fair and ruddy, and his unrecognizable facial features were already delicate. But if you look closely, the wide forehead is upright, the sword eyebrows are raised, and there is a heroic spirit. The eyes are like bright stars, although they are slightly starving, they are full of divine light. The lips are shaped like shaved, and the chin is like a natural blue field jade. When paired as a whole, it is a kind of handsomeness that cannot be increased or decreased at all, which is unforgettable at first sight.

Everyone has a love for beauty, and Xu is naturally no exception. Beautiful personnel are always refreshing, and people are happy to watch and appreciate, and it was not until the person on the couch sat up that Xu suddenly found that she had been standing for more than a moment.

"It's rude to come here without knowing how to do it."

Li Tong sat up straight, then simply stood up and went into the inner room, and only came out after a while, combed the knots of small works, and put on a mink soft hat, and the robe was also buckled with a jade belt, looking solemn.

At this time, King Yong'an lacked the lazy and elegant, elegant and serious, giving people a kind of alienation. But this kind of solemn attitude of hospitality still made the Xu family feel useful, she stepped forward, bowed down her skirt and said: "The concubine took the liberty to visit, disturbing the king's leisure, and I hope the king will not be guilty." ”

Li Tong waved his hand and sat back on the couch, and asked the palace maid to put away the scroll he was reading just now, and invited Xu into the seat, then he smiled and said: "It's just that idlers are lazy, how can there be any fun at all." Thanks to the direct and diligent internal and external presiding, the lazy can be comfortable. ”

Xu said a few words to himself, and casually talked about some idle affairs in the hospital, as if he was reporting to the superiors.

Li Tong was not interested in these things, but he did not interrupt Xu's report, the purpose was naturally to encourage the other party to maintain this attitude. A few months ago, he used a small trick to seize the handle of this woman, but he did not use it to coerce him, and they still maintained a state of peace with each other.

In general, the Xu family is also interesting, and he doesn't care much about the affairs of the hospital, and occasionally passes on some information he has heard, which can be described as keeping to himself. If it weren't for that, it would have been difficult for Li Tong to contact that Baiqi Guo Da privately without scruples.

It's just that after talking about miscellaneous matters, Xu's words made Li Tong frown: "I am fortunate to be here and serve my benefactor." But the miscellaneous are disturbing, and the concubine may not be able to ...... in front of the court for a long time."

Li Tong has always had a sense of crisis, and when he heard Xu say this, he naturally subconsciously thought that someone was going to harm their family and affect the Xu family? But after hearing Xu's next story, I realized that I was too sensitive and thought about it.
