Li Zhonghua was busy in the palace all night, and when he left the palace, it was almost time.

Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, implements a ban at night, and after the sun sets every day, ordinary people are not allowed to wander on the street, and if they want to move around, they can only walk around in the neighborhood where they live.

The entire eighty-four square kilometers of Chang'an City, like cutting tofu, were cut into one hundred and eight squares, each with an area of nearly one square kilometer.

Every square is a large residential area. In order to facilitate the life of the people, each shop will be set up, such as inns, liquor stores, and shops selling daily necessities.

In the hot summer, it is actually very common for three or five confidants to meet up, estimate a pot of wine, buy a little cooked rais, and sit at the door of the store and drink a few sips of turbid wine.

The street outside the square is actually the main road, and idlers are absolutely forbidden to appear at night, and once they are beaten by the officers and soldiers on duty, they will be held accountable.

If you run away, you may be beaten to death in the street.

However, Li Zhonghua is escorted by the flying cavalry in the palace, so naturally there is no need to worry.

Li Zhonghua's Shuangliu County Men's Mansion is located in Anrenfang, go straight out of the Suzaku Gate, pass the Xingdao Fang and Kaihua Fang, and then arrive at Anrenfang.

Anrenfang is not far from the palace gate, it is very convenient to enter the palace and go to court, and it happens to be located in the middle of the east and west markets, and it is not too far from Pingkangfang, and it is also very convenient to linger in the place of fireworks, so many dignitaries and nobles live in Anrenfang.

At this time, the door of Anrenfang has long been closed, and the door cannot be opened casually without special circumstances.

"The door is closed, how can this be good?" Li Zhonghua pointed to the closed door and said to the flying cavalry who escorted him back.

Even if Li Zhonghua delayed his return to the workshop because he was treating the queen's mother in the palace, he would not open the door for him.

It's like a sergeant who has to rush into the city at night when he has to enter the city at night, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city will not open the city gate for him, but use a hanging frame to transfer him to the city.

"Li Xiannan, didn't you ask for a jade medal when you left the palace? When you see the jade plate, the person guarding the gate will naturally find a way to let you in. ”

"Jade, what jade? Nope! Li Zhonghua said a little inexplicably. He thought that Li Shimin sent someone to send him out of the palace, and it was impossible for the people guarding the gate not to open the door.

"It's over, Li Xiannan, you don't have the jade plate in the palace, if you want to enter through the fangmen, we have no choice but to borrow a way for you." One of the Flying Cavalry shook his head and said in a very helpless tone.

"Fortunately, Your Majesty sent our brother to escort you, otherwise, you would have suffered tonight and stayed outside the gate of this house until dawn." The other Flying Cavalry said with a smile.

"Aren't you the Flying Cavalry guarding the palace? The people guarding the gate of the fang, can they not give you face? Li Zhonghua said in surprise.

"This is really not good, unless we are ordered to go in and get people, otherwise without the jade plate or holy decree in the palace, it is impossible to open the door casually."

The flying cavalry took Li Zhonghua to the door of a mansion, and Li Zhonghua saw that there were three words on it.

"This is the eldest princess Guiyang's concubine's mansion, but now the princess and the concubine don't live here, at the beginning of the year temporarily borrowed to, the former Zhu Guogong, the wife and daughter of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Wushi Tong. Otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to disturb them so late. The Flying Cavalry explained with a smile as he banged on the door.

"Samurai Tong!" Li Zhonghua's heart jumped, isn't this the father of that generation of empress Wu Zetian?

"Could it be Wu Zetian's mother Yang, who took Wu Zetian's three sisters to Chang'an's cousin Yang Shidao, who was arranged to live here after being taken in by Yang Shidao." Li Zhonghua thought in his heart.

Thinking about it carefully, isn't Yang Shidao the concubine of Princess Guiyang? Wasn't the combination of the Yang family and Wu Shi Tong the matchmaker made by Yang Shidao and Princess Guiyang?

Thinking about it this way, it is reasonable for Yang Shidao to take them in, Yang Shidao is the maternal uncle of Wu Zetian's three sisters! Although it's just a cousin, it's also a maternal uncle.

Thinking that he can live in the same square with a generation of empress Wu Zetian, isn't that a real neighbor? Li Zhonghua's heart couldn't help but feel a little excited.

"Who is it? What's the matter with the knock on the door in the middle of the night? A woman's voice rang out from the horse's house, and it seemed that she was not very old.

"We are the Flying Cavalry Army, and at the behest of His Majesty, we will send Lord Li of Shuangliu County back to his house and borrow it."

didn't wait too long, the door of the Horse Mansion slowly opened, and a very beautiful little girl about thirteen or fourteen years old stood by the door, bent down slightly and bowed her head and said: "The Minnu Wu clan has seen Lord Li, and I have seen several flying cavalry military masters. ”

"Martial sister, why are you here to open the door again, and don't call your uncle the horse, arrange for a few people to take care of your daily life for the four of your mother and daughter." The flying cavalry who banged on the door said with a smile.

"It turned out to be the Cheng family brothers, why don't you ask Lu Guogong to find you a better errand?" The girl raised her head and said with a smile.

It seems that the girl surnamed Wu is not the first time she has seen two flying cavalry.

"Come on, I can't say anything about you."

"The girl's surname is Wu, but her name is Wu Zetian." Li Zhonghua couldn't help but ask.

"Back to the lord, the maiden is indeed surnamed Wu, but she is not called Wu Zetian."

"Then does your sister or sister have a name named Wu Zetian?" Li Zhonghua asked without giving up.

"Of the three sisters, none of us are named Wu Zetian, and the folk girls have never heard anyone call this name."

Wu Zetian looked at Li Zhonghua curiously, it is rare to see such a young lord, of course, those hereditary ones are different.

"Isn't Wu Zetian called this name since he was a child? It is even more impossible to call Wu Meiniang, because it is the name that Li Shimin gave her after entering the palace. ”

Li Zhonghua thought about it in his heart, and asked again: "Then which of your three sisters was born in the seventh year of Wude?" ”

"The folk girl was born in February of the seventh year of Wude, how could the lord know? Why did the lord ask who was Wu Zetian? Wu Zetian asked with a blushing face.

The Tang Dynasty is open, and there is no serious concept of male superiority and inferiority.

But even so, an unmarried girl's maiden name and birth date will never be told to others casually, especially a strange man.

After confirming that the other party was the famous empress Wu Zetian in history, Li Zhonghua looked at the other party and looked more carefully.

At first, Wu Zetian didn't dare to look at Li Zhonghua carefully because he was shy, but when he saw that Li Zhonghua had been staring at her, he couldn't help but be bold and raised his head to look at Li Zhonghua.

Li Zhonghua is young, and his skin is white and delicate, in the words of later generations, he is a small fresh meat, and he has the title of county man, and he came back from the palace in the middle of the night, which shows that he is very valued by His Majesty.

Such a man, if he can become his own good match, must be very good, at least many girls will have such thoughts.

Wu Zetian's current identity is no different from that of a common person, although her father Wu Shitong was also considered a high power when he was alive, but he was born in poverty and had a humble background, and he did not step into the circle of aristocrats, so as soon as he died, his family quickly fell, and the Wu family also changed back to the ordinary people's family.

The Tang Dynasty has a strict hierarchy, there are many big families, and the gate valve controls the absolute majority of the resources and wealth, even Li Shimin is difficult to shake, and he often has to bow his head to those gate valve families.

Although Yang Shidao took in their mother and daughter, the taste of sending people under the fence was not so pleasant.

Wu Zetian is thirteen years old, and in this era, he has reached the age of talking about marriage.

If she can't get out of her current predicament as soon as possible, then she can only find an ordinary family to marry, and live this life ordinarily from now on.

Wu Zetian has been smart since she was a child, and she has also learned a lot of knowledge from Wu Shi Tong, of course she is not reconciled, she is an ordinary woman, and she has been around for a lifetime.

Li Zhonghua's appearance seemed to be very interested in her, which made Wu Zetian's mind become restless, and she seemed to see that her opportunity had come.
