Early in the morning of the next day, Li Mu asked Li Bi for an ox cart, filled a cart full of three cups, and took the big man Li Chongyi to deliver wine to the emperor Li Yuan. Sun watched Li Mu lead people away, and took the little girl Li Zhien away and came to Bai Qiaoqiao and Li Mu's bedroom.

Bai Qiaoqiao was tidying up the house, and when she saw Sun coming in, she quickly got up. Sun pulled her to sit down and asked in a low voice, "Qiaoqiao, I asked you something, you can't hide it from me." ”

Bai Qiaoqiao saw that Sun said so rightly, and he didn't know what to ask, he was a little apprehensive in his heart, and nodded and said, "Mother, if you ask, I will definitely not hide it from you." ”

The mother asked...... Qiaoqiao, you and my stupid boy, do you two have ...... What about the round house? ”

When Bai Qiaoqiao heard this, he blushed, lowered his head and pinched his clothes' feet, and stammered, "Not yet, not yet...... Lang Jun said that after getting married......"

"No wonder!" Sun seemed to understand something, and said, "Qiaoqiao, it's my mother who has thought about it." Freshen up and go out with your mother, and your mother will take you to do something. ”

Bai Qiaoqiao was stunned for a moment and said, "Mother, what are you going to do?" ”

"Don't ask, hurry up and freshen up, my mother will go to the second master of the Li family to borrow a carriage, and I'll leave later." After speaking, the Sun family went out in a hurry, Bai Qiaoqiao didn't know what was going on, so he had to go to freshen up and get ready to go out according to his words.

The words were divided into two sides, when the Sun family borrowed the car and went out with Bai Qiaoqiao and the little girl Li Zhien, Li Mu rode a horse, and Li Chongyi drove the ox cart and just arrived at the gate of the imperial city.

The imperial palace of the Tang Dynasty is divided into two parts: the imperial city and the palace city. The imperial city is not where the emperor lives, but the place where the prime ministers work, Taimiao, Taichang Temple, Honglu Temple, and the general prison, etc., are all set up in the imperial city. The place where the real emperor lived was Miyagi, the Taiji Palace in the middle of the Miyagi City, the East Palace on the east side, and the Yeting Palace on the west side, which is the legendary Cold Palace. The south wall is equipped with Yong'an Gate, Chengtian Gate, Changle Gate three city gates, Chengtian Gate is in the middle, it is not commonly used, it will only be opened when the state has a major event, or the general is triumphant, and it has a ritual effect. The north gate is the famous Xuanwu Gate, and the three palace coups in the Tang Dynasty all took place in the Xuanwu Gate. Because this place is closer to the Taiji Palace, the probability of success is greater, unlike the city gate on the south wall, there is a square of hundreds of meters after entering the gate, and the coup is a very risky thing, and the distance of hundreds of meters is too variable.

Li Mu entered the palace from Yong'an Gate, and when he arrived at the palace gate, he couldn't ride a horse, Li Chongyi was a slave, so naturally he couldn't enter the palace, and the ox cart was handed over to the deacon's eunuch, and Li Mu was led by a small eunuch to Taiji Palace to see the emperor Li Yuan. The eunuch led Li Mu to the gate of the palace and asked him to wait at the door, and after a while, the eunuch came out again and said, "The emperor has a hangover and has not woken up, you wait for a while, and when the emperor wakes up, our family will call you again." ”

After speaking, the eunuch went in again, and only left Li Mu here.

Wait! Li Mu looked left and right, and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he squatted down at the bottom of the steps, looked at the distant mountains, and made a contemplative appearance, in fact, he didn't think about anything, he was just in a daze.

I don't know how long it took, but there were footsteps on the east side, and it sounded like there were quite a few people. Li Mu hurriedly stood up, only to see that there were indeed people passing by, more than a dozen before and after. The first person was graceful and luxurious, dressed in clothes embroidered with phoenix patterns, and Li Mu hurriedly cheered up. Within the walls of this palace, there is only one person who can wear the phoenix pattern, and that is the queen of the eldest grandson of the dynasty. This person is like thunder, as long as it is about the TV series in the Zhenguan period in the future, she is an absolutely important person, and she must be taken seriously.

Soon, Empress Changsun and her entourage came to the gate of the palace. Li Mu is such a big living person, he can naturally see it. Empress Eldest Sun looked him up and down and said, "Are you Li Mu, the Marquis of the Imperial Seal a few days ago?" ”

Li Mu hurriedly saluted and said, "Weichen Li Mu, meet the queen." ”

"Don't be formal, I heard Your Majesty talk about it, young and talented, brave and strategic, and it is even more rare to find the jade seal of the country, but a wish of the Emperor and His Majesty, the credit is not small. In the future, you can be diligent as an official and share more worries for Your Majesty. ”

"Respect the Queen's teachings."

Empress Eldest Sun bowed slightly, and led people into the main hall. Li Mu peeked over, and saw that the palace people who followed the Empress Eldest Sun were holding some toiletries and breakfast in their hands, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, shouldn't this Empress Eldest Sun come to wait for her father-in-law to get up?

Time passed in a flash, and an hour later, the eunuch who brought Li Mu over finally came out again, and said, "The Emperor has already risen, and asked you to come in and talk." ”

Li Mu hurriedly answered, and when he rubbed shoulders with the eunuch, a piece of silver was handed over without leaving a trace. This eunuch is still young, he didn't seem to expect Li Mu to give him money, he was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted, and as soon as his robe was blocked, the silver went into his sleeve, and when he raised his head again, he had already put on a smiling face, and said: "Thank you, my lord, the emperor is in a bad mood today, you have to be careful." ”

"Thank you, father-in-law, for the reminder."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and everything was silent.

When I entered the hall, I saw Li Yuan sitting on the Hu bed, half on his back and half lying, without any manners. A palace maid brought by the eldest grandson queen was drinking porridge for him, seeing Li Yuan drinking porridge, Li Mu knew what the real 'rice comes to open his mouth', this old man drank porridge, he didn't move it, the palace maid handed the spoon to his mouth, he opened his mouth, the palace maid carefully put it in, did not dare to more, did not dare to less, and did not dare to spill out, a trembling look.

Empress Changsun sat on a brocade bench with a dignified demeanor. Facing Li Yuan's appearance, there was no trace of impatience or anger in her eyes. Not to mention anything else, with this kind of cultivation, several daughters-in-law in later generations can do it.

When Li Yuan saw Li Mu coming, he raised his hand to block the spoon handed over by the palace maid, beckoned, and said, "Li Mu, you kid, let me wait, you are guilty!" ”

Li Mu observed his words and looks, and saw that Li Yuan didn't seem to be really angry, his mind turned sharply, he took two steps forward, knelt on the ground, and said: "The minister is guilty, and he shouldn't let the emperor wait for a long time, but because there was a small mistake, the time was delayed." ”

"Oh? Something went wrong, tell me what went wrong. Saying that, Li Yuan instructed the palace people next to him and said, "Move a chair for Zhuluhou." ”

Li Mu complained bitterly in his heart, what is this called, the eldest grandson queen sits on a stool, sits on a chair for him, this old man is bad enough! Li Mu looked at Empress Changsun apologetically, Empress Zhengsun smiled slightly, got up and said, "Father, there is still something to do in the harem of my daughter-in-law, come back at dinner to say goodbye." The matter just mentioned, I hope my father will consider it. ”

"Let's go!" Li Yuan waved his hand, Empress Eldest Sun saluted, and left with someone. The palace people who followed her were very familiar with packing things quickly, and the whole process was smooth, and it was not once or twice at first glance. Li Mu glanced at it twice, Li Yuan was already waiting impatiently, and said, "Hurry up and sit down, hurry up and say, what's wrong?" ”
