The seventh octopus bites

"Son-in-law Liu Mingzhi, see the queen mother, Chitose Chitose!"

Liu Mingzhi followed Qian Lu, Manager Qian, all the way to the east and west, and finally arrived at Nangong Meng's now newly moved Funing Palace.

After all, after Li Baiyu ascended the throne, Nangong Meng could not live in the queen's bedroom, which was the place where the new queen would be in the future.

The reason is naturally not to be extravagant and wasteful, although the treasury is now a little rich, but the world is so big, there are too many places to use money.

Nangong Meng was dressed in a luxurious phoenix robe, and looked at Liu Dashao who was standing by the door and saluted with a chuckle: "Mingzhi, you kid don't need so much courtesy, take a seat!" ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother!"

Liu Mingzhi gave the third princess who was looking at him affectionately on the side a smile, and sat down at the bottom of Nangong Meng.

"Old money, pour wine for the horse master!"

"Yes, sis!"

"Mingzhi, these days you have been working hard for your father and Yu'er, and you have worked hard! Your father has just made a big trip, and the palace doesn't want to be too grand, so he prepared some coarse tea and light rice, and today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and you didn't have time to eat a reunion dinner. ”

"The queen mother is ashamed, so she calls you to do your best!"

Nangong Meng said that it was coarse tea and light rice, but in fact, he had prepared six dishes and two soups.

It can be seen that Nangong Meng is still grateful to Liu Mingzhi for supporting his son so much.

Liu Mingzhi picked up his wine glass and nodded to Qian Lu: "Thank you!" ”

"Queen Mother, these are all things that sons should do, since my father has appointed sons and daughters as auxiliary ministers, it is natural for sons and daughters to do these things for the sake of the stability of the court."

"It's a pity that God is ruthless, and my father will be in great action when he is at the height of the Spring and Autumn Period."

"Fortunately, it is temporarily peaceful inside and outside, giving His Majesty time to adapt, which is also a blessing in misfortune."

Nangong Meng's eyebrows also carried a little sadness: "Mingzhi, the deceased is gone, and the living mourn!" ”

"Your father is safe to go, and the queen mother is content!"

"Life is a lifetime, the grass and trees are autumn, there must be this day, the queen mother doesn't want to see it, she has to see it!"

"The queen mother, the sons should not mention the sad things of the queen mother, and the mourning is smooth!"

"Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, and the teachings of the queen mother are indispensable, and the sons and daughters will respect the queen mother, let him pass the past!"

"Yan'er also respects her mother!"

The three of them drank all the wine in their cups, and Nangong Meng chuckled and looked at the third princess.

"Yan'er, there are two desserts in the imperial dining room, you go and pass them on, those eunuchs and palace maids are uneasy because of your father's affairs, and it is inevitable that something will go wrong and lose their interest."

The third princess was stunned for a moment, and nodded obediently: "Queen Mother, the sons and daughters know, you and your husband will have dinner first!" ”

"Husband, the concubine will come when she goes!"

"Okay, be careful!"

The third princess slowly walked out of the palace and looked at the eunuch standing outside the palace: "Say, what did the queen mother let this princess do?" ”

The eunuch was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly reacted: "Your Royal Highness the Princess, Your Majesty is waiting for Her Royal Highness the Princess in the imperial study, as for what is going on, we don't know." ”

"Brother Huang? Princess Ben knows, lead the way! ”

"Yes, Her Royal Highness the Princess, please."

Nangong Meng looked at Liu Dashao, who was immersed in eating: "Mingzhi, what do you think of the King of Shu and the others?" ”

Liu Mingzhi looked at Nangong Meng in surprise when he was eating, and sure enough, Nangong Meng's departure of the third princess was not because of wine and food.

After thinking for a while, Liu Mingzhi put down the chopsticks in his hand: "I don't know what the queen mother is talking about?" ”

Nangong Meng pondered for a while, and her charming face was a little weird.

"For example, their idea of Yu'er ascending the throne as emperor!"

"In your opinion, do they accept the fact that Yu'er has ascended the throne now?"

"Ping'er, it's okay for them to say, you must know Hong'er, Long'er, these two children have been eyeing that seat when your father was still alive."

"The queen mother is worried that they still don't give up, in case something goes wrong, it will be a big trouble for Yu'er, the court, and the stability of the country."

"Mingzhi, you are one of your father's appointed auxiliary ministers, I don't know if there is any way to deal with it in advance!"

Liu Mingzhi shook his head slightly: "Queen Mother, there is no good way for the sons. ”

"After all, the first few imperial brothers are the Li clan's relatives, and there is the Zongren Mansion on the side, not to mention the sons, even if it is Your Majesty, there is no good way."

"So far, Erchen means to see the move."

"As long as Your Majesty stabilizes the dynasty, even if a few imperial brothers have any ideas, it can only be in vain!"

"Anticipate the enemy's opportunity, Erchen really doesn't have that ability!"

Nangong Meng nodded regretfully, she also knew that what Liu Dashao said was the truth.

There is a Zongren Mansion on the side, even if Li Baiyu is in charge of Li Yunlong, they have to think twice, let alone Liu Mingzhi, a foreign minister.

As long as Li Yunlong and the others have no actual actions, Li Baiyu can only stare dryly.

"Eat slowly, after being hungry for a long time, drink soup first to nourish your stomach!"

"Thank you to the queen mother, the son is rude!"

Afraid that Nangong Meng would ask some strange topics again, Liu Dashao buried his head in eating again.

As for the question of etiquette, the first emperor Li Zheng didn't bother to ask himself about this matter, not to mention Nangong Meng, a queen mother!

There was only a little food left on the dinner table, and Nangong Meng frequently glanced at the palace door with an anxious look on his face.

If the daughter doesn't come back, things have to be revealed.

Nangong Meng didn't know that Liu Dashao had already understood that Nangong Meng was deliberately supporting the third princess.

While Nangong Meng was waiting, the third princess came in first, followed by two eunuchs holding pastries.

"Queen Mother, Erchen is back!"

"You kid, you don't know how to urge those imperial chefs, it's been so long to come back!"

"The queen mother blames her son, the pastry is time-consuming, and the daughter didn't mean it!"

The third princess took the tray in the eunuch's hand: "Queen Mother, husband, try the newly made osmanthus cake made by the imperial kitchen!" ”

Nangong Meng stretched out his well-maintained slender jade fingers and pinched a piece of osmanthus cake and put it in his lips to taste it twice and then put it down: "It tastes good, Mingzhi, you eat more, the queen mother has a bad appetite because of your father's affairs, just taste it." ”

"Thank you to the queen mother, the son is welcome!"

Liu Dashao grabbed the osmanthus cake and devoured it, selectively ignoring the angry eyes of the third princess.

Not only is it important to fill your stomach, but you can also avoid topics, what a good thing.

After a long time, Liu Dashao patted his stomach: "Queen Mother, if there is nothing else to do, Erchen and Yan'er will retire first, after all, in the harem, it is not good for Erchen to stay for a long time!" ”

"Okay, you can rest assured when you are full of food and drink, you go to wait outside the palace first, the queen mother sat in the queen mother's robe twice, and the queen mother wants to let Yan'er give a reference, it won't be long delayed!"

"Yes, Erchen retired first."

Liu Dashao's face remained unchanged and walked out of the hall.

Nangong Meng chuckled and looked at the third princess: "Your eldest brother wants to reward Cheng Qian, tell you!" ”

"Yes, but I also asked about something else!"

Nangong Meng was stunned: "Something else?" What else was said? ”

The third princess looked back at the palace with a complicated face: "The imperial brother asked her father-in-law if there is a lot of silver!" ”

Nangong Meng's face was puzzled for a moment, and his face suddenly changed slightly: "The queen mother knows, you go back with Mingzhi first!" ”

"Yes, the retainers are retired!"

After the third princess left, Nangong Meng looked at Mr. Qian: "Qian Lu, go and pass Yu'er to the palace to ask for peace." ”

"Yes!"

"Husband, let the concubine come down, let people see it!"

Liu Da Shao happily glanced back at the third princess on his back: "What's wrong, it's only right for the husband to carry the lady behind his back." ”

"There are no regulations in the law of the dragon, the husband can carry it on his back if he wants to, and after eating so much, he is just carrying you, a big fat pig, to lose weight!"

"The concubine's body is not fat, and the flesh on her body has grown to the place where it should be!"

"Really? When you get home, you have to check it carefully to see if Yan'er is tall again! ”

The third princess hugged her husband's neck with a slightly red face and glanced at the guards who passed not far away.

"Is it high or not, can't you feel it with a concubine on your back?"

"Alas, it's thick in winter, who knows if it's clothes!"

The third princess pinched Liu Dashao's ears angrily: "Phew, it's not serious, you talk nonsense with your eyes open, you didn't say that when you robbed the child!" Except for Sister Shan, the concubine has not served anyone! The peaks and mountains are like gathering, and the waves are like anger, and it is the concubine body! ”

"Yan'er, you've learned badly, you weren't like this before!"

"That's also bad with you ruffian!"

"That's right, husband! The royal brother has just passed Yan'er! ”

"And then?"

"He wants to reward Qian'er with a title, and asks the concubine whether he wants an outer lord or an inner lord!"

"The outer lord, the inner lord is not down-to-earth for the husband!"

"Okay, the concubine listens to the husband, and the husband is what he says!"

"Husband!"

"What's wrong?"

"The concubine wants to buy some clothes that her husband likes to wear for her husband, but the concubine's money is ........ What is that, husband understands! ”

Liu Dashao's eyes lit up: "Yan'er, my husband still has some private money here, let's buy what Yan'er likes, if you don't have money, you can't treat your lady badly." ”

"Your money is not enough to even visit the Qinglou, where did you get the private money!"

"Ask the old man if you want it, this is the fine tradition of my Liu family, a few clothes can be worth a few dollars!"

"You are really a cub selling Ye Tian and don't feel distressed, and your father-in-law's silver is not blown by the wind, can you do this well? There is no one like you in the father-in-law's stall. ”

"What's this, it's not a lot of money, the old man went to the Qinglou to charter the master, I spent a few silver to use it for real, what's wrong with buying clothes for his daughter-in-law!"

"It's not big money, who spends it doesn't spend!"

"Okay, it turns out that what Sister Yun said is true, it turns out that it is true that the husband pays others if he doesn't agree with him in Jiangnan, there is really a father and a son, and he looks so serious when he is fair, it turns out that he is also an old and unserious."

Liu Da Shao laughed stupidly twice: "Young and frivolous, less is not more important to be a husband now, it is not what it used to be, a tael of silver is eager to be broken into ten parts to spend!" ”

"And Ah Yan'er, if the old man is not serious, let's just talk about it, don't talk nonsense, especially my mother!"

"Otherwise, the old man will know that he will have to cut off his husband's private money!"

"Of course the concubine knows, and the concubine is not a long-tongued woman who chews the root of her tongue, but husband, my father-in-law spends so much money, how much silver does he have, he just tosses it!"

"You also toss, the second uncle also tosses behind his younger siblings, and the third uncle is not honest."

"Let the three of them follow the wind, it's good to spend it, see if you know how many of you stay at home!"

Liu Dashao lightly clasped his head: "Yan'er, don't believe it, your husband will be thirty soon, and the old man really doesn't know how much money he is for his husband." ”

"You can also see that the old man's body is quite strong now, and he feels that he can live better than Wang Ba."

"It is estimated that it will be difficult for the second child to inherit the family property in a short time, but he can live."

"Besides, after the husband sets up his own door, he can't inherit the family property, and I really don't know how much money is for the husband."

"But it should be quite rich, my husband has never worried about money, and the five thousand taels of old men are embarrassed to make a move, I don't want to, anyway, we can't inherit the family property, what do you want to do so much!"

"What the husband said is also true, if you think about it carefully, let's save some money for the husband, we won't buy those clothes!"

"Don't, no matter how much you save it, it's not bad for that!"

.........

Outside the palace, the Tianxiang Building, Li Baihong's brothers looked around and scattered, and each got into a carriage and rushed in the direction of his home.

In the crowd on the street, two plain-clothed people looked at Tianxianglou, and a person with a hat came out at the end, and glanced at each other.

"Send a message to the Lord, the fish is about to bite!"

"Do you want to be sure?"

"I haven't missed people with these eyes, send the message directly, don't fly pigeons to pass the book, be careful of the people who are in the shadow of the big inner spy, their shadows are everywhere in the past two days, and we are controlled everywhere!"

"What are you afraid of, it's not like we haven't slaughtered spy ............"

"Hmmm! Do you want to cause trouble for the Lord? ”

"Don't dare, I'll go deliver the message first!"

The older plain-clothed man looked at his companion's back and frowned slightly.

"It seems that I have to tell the Lord that the brethren are getting more and more inflated."
