Chapter 357: See You at Last

The sky was dark, and Li Mu woke up. He slept very badly this night, and after being kicked out of the Taiji Hall by Li Shimin, Gonggong Gao took him to the East Palace, no way, as a man with Ding Ding, he had no other place to go except the East Palace.

Obviously, Li Shimin also got up very early, as soon as Li Mu finished passing the clothes, a little eunuch came over to wear a message, and asked Li Mu to go to Changle Gate to help Zheng's mother and daughter pack their things, clean up, hurry up, get out, without being summoned, you are not allowed to enter the palace at will.

The latter half of the sentence, Li Mu just didn't hear it. He is the Minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, even if it is official business, he has to enter the palace often, and if he says he won't let it, he won't let it? The emperor is amazing, isn't he? Do you have the ability not to use the money earned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs?

But he didn't dare to say this in front of Li Shimin.

Li Chengqian, the bear child, hadn't gotten up yet, and naturally there was no preparation for breakfast, and Li Mu didn't have to eat if he wanted to, after all, it wasn't his own home, so he had to come to Changle Gate on an empty stomach. To his surprise, Zheng Guanyin actually made breakfast. Although it's just porridge, it's better to eat some than nothing.

Smelling the fragrance of the porridge, Li Mu's saliva flowed, but he was too embarrassed to speak, so he just stood next to him, staring at other people's porridge bowls.

"Chase the deer marquis...... Haven't you eaten? ”

"Not yet." Li Mu chick nodded like pecking rice, staring at the bowl in Li Wanshun's hand, and his eyes were about to fall in.

Zheng Guanyin had never seen such a person, hesitated for a moment, and said, "That...... Do you want to eat some? ”

"That's so embarrassing!" Li Mu smiled, his voice did not fall, and he had already started it. He took the spoon of porridge, first gave a spoonful to the youngest Li Wanyan, then gave Li Wanshun a spoonful, and then gave Zheng Guanyin a spoonful, and there was more than half of it left, blew it with his mouth, raised the porcelain basin and dried it directly.

The mother and daughter looked at him blankly, what kind of person is this, this is too familiar!

Li Mu clicked his lips, saw that the mother and daughter were staring at him, and said, "What's wrong with you?" Bad appetite? ”

When the youngest Li Wanyan heard this, she quickly lowered her head and ate. Li Wanshun was the same, only Zheng Guanyin pushed his bowl to Li Mu and said, "It's the time to grow your body, and it's a blessing to eat more." ”

"Then I'm not welcome, when I leave the palace, I will set up a banquet to entertain the hidden princess." After all, it's another bowl of belly.

The porridge was gone, Zheng took out the pastries sent by Father-in-law Gao a few days ago, and Li Mu stuffed a few more pieces of osmanthus cake into his mouth, drank a sip of tea, and pressed it, so that he was full. The two children ate slowly, and Li Mu and Zheng waited while chatting about what happened after leaving the palace.

"Zhuluhou, the things that should be brought, I have almost packed up last night, there is no trouble, just load it in the car and take it away. It's just that before leaving, I have a question, and I would like to ask you to solve your doubts. ”

"Speak, please."

Zheng Guanyin smiled and said, "I want to know, why do you defend our mother and daughter so much." To tell you the truth, a few days ago, I met Duke Wei, and in Duke Wei's mouth, I learned some things about you, and Duke Wei's evaluation of you is really a little different from what I saw with my own eyes. I can trust Duke Wei's character, but what you do is different from what Duke Wei described, which makes me wonder which one you is the real you. ”

Without waiting for Li Mu to answer, Zheng Guanyin said again: "If this doubt is not solved, I will always be relieved." I should have died a long time ago, and I have lived until now for the sake of my two children. If you're trying to deceive me, I don't care, it's just these two kids—"

Li Mu smiled and said, "It's normal for you to have this doubt. It's that I didn't explain it clearly, in fact, I came to Changle Gate yesterday, in addition to His Majesty asking me to come, there is another person who also entrusted me. ”

"And one more?" Zheng Guanyin frowned slightly and asked, "Who is it?" ”

"The Emperor."

"Father......" Zheng Guanyin blurted out subconsciously, immediately became vigilant, frowned, and said, "How do you let me believe you?" You are Li Shimin's favorite minister, how can you get involved with your father? How can it be? ”

"Didn't Wei Zheng tell you?" Li Mu said with a smile: "I am friends with the Emperor Taishang, and the two of us climbed through the Taiji Hall together and got drunk on the roof. The Emperor Taishang was able to leave the palace, and it was also my contribution...... That's a long story, let's wait for you to meet the emperor, and you can talk slowly. ”

"Meet my father?" The more Zheng Guanyin listened, the more bizarre he felt, and said, "When you leave the palace, you can still meet your father?" Will Li Shimin agree? ”

"What's wrong with this, don't you want to see the Emperor?"

"I ......" Thinking of Li Yuan, Zheng Guanyin's eyes were a little red. She is the crown princess handpicked by Li Yuan, if it weren't for Li Yuan's optimism about her, with Li Jiancheng's romantic personality, the position of crown princess may not be her turn.

Thinking of all the things back then, and then looking at things and people now, Zheng Guanyin is a woman after all, how can she not feel emotional.

"Princess Yin, I know that you have all kinds of worries and doubts in your heart. I can't get you to let go of these worries and doubts right now...... You might as well think of it this way, now Your Majesty has issued an order to let you out of the palace. If you don't leave the palace, you will definitely not be able to. Think about your life in Changle Gate over the years, after leaving the palace, even if the situation is bad, it's nothing more than that. Why not open up and give it a try? ”

Zheng Guanyin nodded and said, "What you said makes sense, and now it can only be like this." ”

At this time, the two children finished eating. The eunuch and palace maid who was sent by Gonggong Gao to help move were already waiting outside the door, Li Mu called, and everyone came in together, and they were all loaded in the car after a while.

Li Chengqian sent a team of East Palace guards to escort them, and the group came out of the palace gate, passed through the imperial city, and came to Suzaku Street.

Li Chongyi and Dugu Jiuyi had been waiting here for a long time, and when they saw Li Mu sitting on the wheel of a carriage, holding a whip in his hand, as if he was driving, and it was sent by the guards of the East Palace, they couldn't help but feel a little strange and hurriedly leaned over.

"Yo, you're here."

"Big brother, are you hurt?" Li Chongyi was naturally sensitive to the smell of blood, and he smelled it the moment he approached Li Mu.

"Oh," Li Mu pointed to his shoulder and said, "I was attacked by a grandson, I'll talk about this later." You go to heaven and earth first, and tell the Emperor Taishang that the people have been picked up, so let Li Yourong prepare a reception banquet and wait to meet his mother, and we will be there in a while. ”

Li Chongyi nodded, turned the horse's head, and took the first step. Dugu Jiu drove the carriage and followed next to Li Mu, casting his eyes and asking Li Mu if he wanted to sit over, Li Mu shook his head, and he followed.

Zheng Guanyin heard the conversation between Li Mu and Li Chongyi in the carriage, opened the curtain and asked, "Zhuluhou, what did you just say to visit your mother, who wants to meet your mother?" ”

"Ah, I forgot to tell you." Li Mu turned around and explained: "Now by the side of the Emperor Taishang, there is also a lord of Huanzhu. She is also the daughter of Prince Yin, and her mother is the daughter of the Turkic Shibi Khan, you may not know this past, what is going on, or after meeting, let the Emperor tell you. ”

Zheng Guanyin really didn't know that according to Li Yourong, when Li Ji sent their mother and daughter back to Turkic, Zheng Guanyin hadn't married Li Jiancheng yet. It was precisely because the eldest grandson Wuji attacked Li Jiancheng with 'orchid' that Li Yuan later appointed Zheng Guanyin as the crown princess. Zheng Guanyin was born in Xingyang Zheng's family, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, whether it is family background, talent, or appearance, they are all impeccable, just to block the mouth of people like the eldest grandson Wuji.

In this way, it can be regarded as a relationship.

Hearing that there is still a husband's heir in the world, Zheng Guanyin doesn't know what she feels like. Before she married Li Jiancheng, she had heard of Li Jiancheng's romantic name, so she didn't find it strange. But after all, she is Li Jiancheng's wife, and her husband is merciful everywhere, which still makes her a little uncomfortable.

It's just that everyone is gone, and there's no point in talking about it. That child, since it is her husband's blood and blood, can be regarded as her own relative. Thinking like this, Zheng Guanyin had a little more expectation in his heart.

It is definitely not a lie to say that it is a relative.

In this era, the status of the main wife and the concubine is like a world of difference. This is true for the royal family, and it is also true for the people. The offspring of the concubine cannot call their biological mother their mother, because their mother is the main wife of the family, and they can only call the mother of the main wife. The concubine is only a tool for procreation, and does not have the complete power of a mother.

Zheng Guanyin, as Li Jiancheng's wife, theoretically, all of Li Jiancheng's children must call her mother. Such a family relationship is taken for granted in this era. If Li Yourong doesn't recognize her as a mother, it means that Li Yourong is unfilial, and this crime is not small.

The wheels rolled on the road, making a creaking sound, getting closer and closer to heaven and earth, and Zheng Guanyin's mood became more and more nervous. From time to time, she lifted the curtain to take a look at the street, and the two children stared curiously at the scene. For them, this is the first time in their lives to leave the palace, and seeing this world of flowers and flowers is a novelty.

Chongrenfang was not far from the imperial city, and after a while, he arrived at the gate of heaven and earth. Li Yuan was already waiting at the door, and when he saw Zheng Guanyin get down from the carriage, Li Yuan was also moved, and Li Jiancheng's shadow resurfaced in his mind, and his eyes instantly turned red.

"Father!" Zheng Guanyin got down from the carriage and saw Li Yuan, and immediately couldn't control his emotions and broke down and cried. Li Yuan was also in tears, bent down to help Zheng Guanyin up, and couldn't say a word.

Li Mu glanced behind Li Yuan, Li Yourong was expressionless, and he couldn't see joy and sorrow. Li Mu can also understand her reaction, after all, Zheng Guanyin is not her biological mother, and she has no feelings for Li Jiancheng, and even hatred. At this time, when he saw his wife, it was strange that he could get close.

However, when Li Yuan introduced Zheng Guanyin to her, Li Yourong still obediently called his mother. Li Mu's heart was refreshed, a little bit, there will be one more person who can cure you in the future!

He hadn't been happy for a moment, when suddenly a familiar voice came.

"Guanyin, is that you?"

Zheng Guanyin followed the voice and looked over, and suddenly showed a look of surprise: "Sister Ou! How are you here! ”
